Some lemmy specific improvements submitted for the maintainers to review 😌
Might be worth looking into immutable distros (nix, guix) and their home management systems, or containerised apps (flatpak, where you can inject config). A lot of tools are hardcoded to non standard locations so it’s kind of a losing battle by default. A similar strategy would be to use permissions or mount certain folders as read only.
Yay more options
Yeah new to guix here but I think flatpak is the suggested and reasonable approach to combine with immutable desktops
