Sorry for your loss. I did something similar recently. A script was creating a “~” folder in my notes folder. I wanted to delete it… Thankfully it stopped at some file it couldn’t remove and my dotfiles are in git.

When I read this kind of stories about game dev where unit tests are very optional, I don’t really regret not working in this industry, especially now with all the layoffs.

It’s easy to give it a try. You just have to select it at the login screen and see for yourself if you’re impacted by any issue.

I’ve used homeshick https://github.com/andsens/homeshick for a few years and it’s been running fine. It can load two git repos, one common public repo and one private one for work config.

Those games are hardly irrelevant or distant past. I’ve enjoyed a lot of them in the humble bundles and I still play some others. The fact that he was also porting them to Linux is fantastic.
