In particular tools to help manage backup and rollback of system configuration. Or tools to help migrate and old laptop to the new one? I've seen things about dot file management? Stuff like that.

Timeshift is a very common tool for backing up and creating restore points.

For dot file management, I personally back up my dot files to a locally hosted server, but I used to have a private git repo for this on GitHub. Then I put together a simple bash script to automate placing the dot files

Timeshift! That's what I was thinking of. Thanks.

What's your bash script do for dot files? Is it complicated? Would it be something a novice scripter like me put together?
