We have added a folder to your Linux system.
The folder is called personal and it is on your / (root).
The idea is to put elements in there you want to use later on your personally build iso like
- configs
- settings
- pre-built packages not available on repos or on AUR
- wallpapers
- music or videos
- …
After a clean install you type the alias ‘personal‘ into your terminal and all settings will move to your home directory.
