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.

chezmoi, although I am not sure I like it. Its the first I tried and some stuff seems very complicated.
What do you find complicated? I'm happy to help you with it. It also seemed complicated to me, but once I understood it it was pretty simple to use (unless you wanna do advanced stuff.)
You either commented on wrong post or my Jerboa is glitched.
pretty much.
The way the autocommiting works is weird, have to use regular git commands for that. Also templating doesn't work for me. I was trying to establish a file with the same content across multiple devices in different subfolders but it kind of didn't work out.
That's unfortunate, because I commit manually (I want to write the messages) and I never needed to template the filepaths. I'm using file templates and it works flawlessly tho.
