general guidelines and philosophy⌗

i’ll try to keep this as simple as posible to increase mantainability and troubleshooting, and minimize unexpected behavior.

also, if i can keep something in the userspace using flatpaks without affecting usability, i’ll prefer that to reduce system clutterness and increase security.
