From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oddly, after a few tries I managed to get past. I religiously back things up, and just last night pushed all my current dots.
I'm gonna run some drive diagnostics. If everything looks good, I'll just repartition and take this as a sign to only use encryption on secondary drives where I backup sensitive info.
I really need to get into pushing dot files. Every time I think „its not going to be that much“. Then I install a new system and like 20 apps, then I fiddle here and there. After a couple weeks I def rack up one or more hours of config.
My protip is to use symlinks, and then just keep all your dots in a project folder. Makes it super easy to keep iterating on them in realtime, and pushing changes.
Thats neat! Thanks for the suggestion. I‘ll try that. Currently am experimenting on libraries with my coding stuff.
