Hello,
I’ve started playing around with aconfmgr
on my laptop (manjaro KDE) and wanted to ask:
Can the resulting data be used to configure manjaro on a completely different hardware?
Is it possible to configure using the resulting data a different arch-based distro (native arch, EndeavourOS etc.)?

I created something similar some time ago to be able to transfer common configs and package list to other Manjaro systems.
Specifically for Plasma there is konsave in AUR

The best way to find out, the really fail-safe way, is to test it and see what happens.
Hope this means something!

Well, there is a way you can protect yourself against this calamity, and as a bonus, i…
