When you keep changing your working environment like this you end up with several problems : - Some symlinks will end up orphans. - Not every program you use support Xresources and you will most probably have to manually edit some themes/config. - When starting a fresh installation you will very likely need to adapt your existing dotfiles to your new machine. - It is a mess! -Toml Bombadil try to solve this with a simple addition to the symlink method used by other tools: +Toml Bombadil tries to solve this with a simple addition to the symlink method used by other tools: instead of creating a symlink from a dotfile to the actual config path of a program, it will create a copy of it and -symlink the copy.
