KDE is a good example - a lot of KDE apps mix config and state in the same file. There's some solutions for syncing these files, like https://github.com/VorpalBlade/chezmoi_modify_manager which is an addon to Chezmoi that can exclude particular keys when storing an INI-style config file in Git. I'm sure there's some config files in there that are entirely specific to the computer. Things like the Wayland per-monitor scaling settings are in there somewhere I think. There's also things like data files that you may want to keep in sync across machines. They're not really configs. permalink fedilink source parent
