   Short of mastering my own distro, there has to be a way to script a fully automated install (of Linux) with my preferences setup and configured.

   I'm going to ponder that for a bit...

     @FortyTwo They have something like that for arch but I forgot what it’s called. It’s just preconfigured dotfiles and setups.

     @teratology you don't have any idea what it's called, by chance, do you?

     @menherahair @Zerglingman @FortyTwo @teratology
     I kinda hate this method for dotfile management
     ive never been able to deploy it without issues
     
     so I just use stow because that makes everything infinetly easier
