For example, if git or python is needed in order to install some tool, it should detect whether such dependencies are available, and, if not, install them first. And more, if there are install scripts for such dependencies in the tools/ directory, the installer should run them.

In fact, the installer should be just an orchestrator of install scripts and nothing more.

A profile defines a set of installs for a specific Linux distribution. It lets you have control over which parts of the dotfiles get installed into the system, whilst not cluttering automated install scripts with choices.

For example, I'm sure that I will always want to use bspwm on ArchLinux, but not on Ubuntu. I can have the automated install for it, but it will only be used by some profile I've created for ArchLinux.

And, please, use the default path for .Xresources.

Document every single setting inside init.vim. But since I'm planning on migrating over to Lua due to its support for language servers, it may be better to recreate init.vim in init.lua.

packer_compiled.lua contains absolute paths and should be generated by the package manager in the user's machine.

This is extremely useful for automated installs. Maybe start with something that lets you list the needed packages in each distribution, which is already useful, since packages may have different names across them.

I don't care for uninstalling packages.
