Could openSUSE MicroOS check the boxes for you?

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it: https://www.bahmanm.com/2023/07/firefox-profiles-quickly-replicate-your-settings.html

Hang on...I'm testing and writing the procedure on my blog. I will post back here as soon as I'm done.

"Can't you see,

It all makes perfect sense,

Expressed in dollars and cents, pennies, shillings and pence.

I was in a somehow similar scenario a few years ago and ended up using profiles.

I created and configured the "perfect" profile on my laptop and made a copy of it on my flash drive. Then whenever I needed to work on a new machine, all I had to was to copy the profile directory from my flash drive.

The details may have changed since then, but I think the idea is still applicable. HTH

I use Emacs (and libvterm) for almost all my terminal'y needs 😅

In rare cases where I need a terminal outside Emacs, I use Alacritty.

Here's the relevant config from ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml:

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed FTW. I've got an old T530 (2012) who's been happily on Tumbleweed since 2019.

Nowadays I use vanilla Gnome but had a very good experience with Awesome on the same setup. You may want to check the default Sway setup too.
