Feature request - Replication by config

Hello, first post on the forums.

I have recently picked up my first ever Arch-based distribution, and I am glad that I chose EndavourOS. This thing is absolutely amazing. I am literally ready to switch from Windows to this, but there are certain things I can’t give up so I’m dualbooting.

I setup my environment to the best of my comfort and I am loving every second I’m in the OS, with a constant feeling of being in something great.

I wished to copy system configuration (the things I downloaded and added to the base installatino), basically the whole environment in a way so that if I were to freshly install EndavourOS somewhere, I’d start from how I have it right now.

I just now stumbled upon NixOS which has this configuration file with which one can replicate the whole environment and set it up just like the same.

Is such thing feasible for EndavourOS? If so, I think it’d be a fantastic addition.

It’s not the same thing, but you might want to have a look at Ansible (see, e.g., https://www.lorenzobettini.it/2023/07/my-ansible-role-for-oh-my-zsh-and-other-cli-programs/ which I use for the main distributions)
