Yeah, it’s fantastic. It’s more effective at this than I thought because even though I use git a lot for programming and projects, I’ve admittedly forgotten far too often to commit and push/pull trivial changes on devices and in most cases, all I need is just for dotfiles to sync across devices anyway.

I use Syncthing with a folder called “Configuration Files” where I drop all my sync-able configs and dotfiles and I simply symlink them as needed.

I truly wish to see the day when any computer can easily run Linux painlessly.

I think the easiest ones I’ve seen are Linux Mint and all the vanilla installs of other mature distros, but I still see cases from time to time with friends and strangers who still somehow manage to get their setups in some issue or another, whether it’s their hardware’s fault or factory defaults / configs getting in the way or their own.

I’m just glad that these are getting much better than ever as time goes on.
