Well, I think my #guix journey is over, at least for now. Too many issues in too rapid a succession, with too much time spent just trying to get to a semi-usable system.

Seemed like a good time to go back to and old favorite after many many years away, but when I went to download #arch my eye was caught by the shiney newness of #cachyos. Legitimately a half hour later and I was up and running.

Trying out #niri now. It sure is pretty. But I'm not sure it'll win out over #sway for me long term.

Maybe I'll drop guix on as just a dotfile manager at some point, but I think for now I'm going back to #gnustow and putting my attention on building usable things rather than just my OS.

I came across GNU Stow as a way of organising dotfiles in an interview between Matt from @thelinuxcast and Linkarzu on YouTube.

If you’ve ever struggled to manage your dotfiles across different systems, GNU Stow could be the elegant solution you’ve been looking for. In my latest post, I explain how using Stow to reorganise my dotfiles made my setup cleaner, more modular and easier to reproduce.

I have just migrated all my debian  dotfiles to a GNU stow structure. What a brilliant piece of software!

Replaced GNU stow by git bare repo as described https://dev.to/bowmanjd/store-home-directory-config-files-dotfiles-in-git-using-bash-zsh-or-powershell-the-bare-repo-approach-35l3

I never learned stow and a simple alias fixed all my needs.

alias dtf='git --git-dir=$HOME/projects/vyskocilm/dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
