I’m looking for interesting tools to automate managing packaging and configuring everything automated.

And yeah I know about NixOS but I like to distro hop and experiment so I for now know these:

  • Ansible - automating many machines, using different package names as vars and package managers.
  • Bash - the most native and compatible scripting language that can be.
  • Chezmoi - for dotfiles.

For now that’s it. I’m looking forward for your suggestions!

    Yeah I see everyone saying chezmoi is great.

    Ansible seems fine but also complicate many thing not doing something in bash.

    GNU Stow seems even more complication than Ansible.

    Bash seems the most simplest one.
