Yes because Linux encourages you to make it your OS by customizing it, but it’s not easy as it should to create a backup of all that work so that you can easily deploy it on another computer.
I know that Clonezilla works in some situations or that NixOS coulb be a solution, but it’s not should be easier.

Isn’t everything in dot files in home? Create package lists and export them, add dot files. Or keep home on a seperate partition or drive. This seems straight forward to me.

i think you can just move the home directory and install same packages, i’ve done this numerous times in fact, i still don’t know how to properly migrate a windows or osx system (other than imaging the entire drive)
