Backing up linux .config & apps to move to a new device/distro

burn it all down… or?

Ahh, a tale born from the first time that I dipped my toes into the weird, wide and wonderful world of distro-hopping. Because sometimes, instead of building it all from scratch again (like so many of us are fond of doing), bringing your old config, notes of a previous home, with you is desirable. Because don’t lie - we won’t get those hours spent tweaking shell configs to look just how we like it back.
