From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't share mine. I manage them with gnu stow and my private gitforge on my server (with 3-2-1 backup in place)
I don't have an objection to sharing them. I don't think it's too personal, I just don't use a public facing gitforge.
Edit to add: I have branches for my different machines in my dotfiles repo for variations
