From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's been my approach too, but I've reached ten plus years of God knows what in my dotfiles. It's time for a clean reinstall. 😁
I've been using
chezmoi
for dotfile management and have been really happy with it. You can directly import existing files to get started and template out any differences between systems.
