After installing your OS (Manjaro in my case) and configuring it to your likings, which directories do you backup? (or reverse-question, which directories do you _not_ backup?) - eviltoast

        Is it possible to tell my OS that it’s always going to have only 1 non-root user and relocate all the ~/.config into /etc?

          You should not do that. Things can break. Your user configurations are stored in .config and Your System configurations stored in /etc/ are used by your system. I wouldn’t recommend it.

          Programs may read from /etc, but it’s not recommended. Instead, I recommend having your .config directory stored somewhere, or preferably, have all configs in a git repository (often called dotfiles) and deploy them on systems for example with stow

      It’s like .config but system wide. It stands for Editable Text Configuration. Some examples is config for Sudo, Grub, X11 or SDDM.
