Ah, nice. I have a similar setup, I have a repo, and for each rc-file, I do:
cat shared/${general_config} ${machine_name}/${machine_specific_config} > ${rc_file_name}
So for spectrwm it does: cat shared/spectrewm.conf laptop/spectrewm.conf > ~/.spectrewm.conf
I’ve looked at i3wm, but I never used it, so I don’t know. If I had to move to another wm, i3wm seems like the first one that I’d look at, since they seem so similar
I’ve been using spectrwm for over a decade https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm and have no plans to change
Wouldn’t that be getting rid of the libs?
I think this would be ‘owning’ the libs:
chown -R $(whoami) /usr/lib
One thing that I find useful is that you can do --filesync with an existing zip, which means it only updates the files if the date/size don’t match. This saves a bunch of time on large archives that don’t need to be created from scratch every time.
