This is my answer to the question: «How to live with your MacOS?» I use this config and adjust it on 2 of my macoses: macmini m1 and macbook pro 16 intel since 21.01.2020. I try to sync every single property could be synced.

CAUTION: I use this config and it works but the installation was not debugged on a new machine.

And I'm sure it won't work perfectly!

I will be glad if you will find any issues and report them.
