Transfuse - A script to backup and restore KDE Plasma configs

@joekamprad said in chat that there is a request for such a utility every so often.
And Transfuse has been upgraded to work with Plasma 6. :slight_smile:

Transfuse will let you easily copy and/or compress desktop configurations and more from one user or system and apply it to another.

Optionally supports exporting and applying native and foreign package lists as well.

While package lists are dependent on the pacman package manager all other functions should be agnostic - meaning you can create or apply backups from Arch to Ubuntu, from Ubuntu to Endeavour, Endeavour to Endeavour, or just about any other trajectory.

As always feedback is welcome.

Man, you do useful scripts! Had I known before, I’d have tried this to mirror my install to another laptop.

I wonder how good it would work on an X11 Cinnamon EOS install.

It’s time to check out your GitLab more often, for sure!

The packagelist options will work on any system with pacman.

The rest of the configuration backup functions are specific to Plasma .. at least for now. It could theoretically support other desktops if I could create a reliable index of the paths involved.
