    Could you give an example of that? Cause i’m kinda curious. I have used home manager before when i was using nixos, but when i left i went back to using my script. It was kinda annoying to me how home manager was much slower.

      Server (Linux) and personal machine (non-Linux Macbook) with the same general shell config (aliases etc.), but different applications/CLI tools installed.

      No idea how it compares against the Nix paradigms, but I like the ease of use in setting up a new machine. It’ll copy all files to their intended destinations and will be able to fill in credentials from templates using e.g. rbw (third-party Bitwarden, i.e. password manager, CLI tool), meaning, once all fields have been templated, you can make it public without even worrying about leaking a personal email address (I use different ones for git vs. other accounts vs. even other stuff).
