I've done this and it almost worked, ha ha, except for all the paths that don't use $HOME

Yeah I've never really had a problem either. Even with using skels.

Besides, install scripts are the norm for me, so it's typically easy to fix when things do go wrong.

Pro tip: "${HOME%/}/" will always result in /home/godelski even if I include my last name and even if I accidentally modified it to have a / at the end. Some simply variable substitutions go a long way.
