I have yet to customize my i3 config on my fedora install on this macbook. I hesitate because my debian install just vanished, causing me to thik the SSD is failing. This when i installed fedora on this afterwards -- i'd hate to put so much work in just to randomly lose it. What do you guys think?

Maybe store it up in a source control software somewhere so you can pull it down again if it does? Thats what I do. Then when I bork my system I can just pull my dots down and relink them.

Yeah just create a git repo or something, or if you think that's overkill for your needs you can just make sure to backup the config to a external ssd or usb.
