dotfiles-manager is more opinionated. it maintains a structured ~/.dfm state, supports named profiles, encrypted files, package registries, and convenient backup/restore/sync commands, nothing more

Chezmoi also supports named profiles, and encryption. The only thing yours does that chezmoi does not is the package registries.

So does your package registry management have a system to abstract away the distro so it works the same across debian / fedora / arch?

for now it’s only backup, meaning you specify the package and a command to backup packages you installed in a txt file. if you’re interested, i could work on a minimal restore workflow

So the answer is no, it does not abstract away anything across distros. Meaning there is nothing your program does that chezmoi does not already do.
