+# Concept for updating config automatically
+1. Track which files contain the setting
+2. If there are multiple and is no array, then simply overwrite the last
+3. If there are multiple and is array, then remove from the file where it is present and add to last file in requires list
+-> To enable this, update the loader to keep more metadata (list of all requires, list of files for each setting)

 # Ideas
-- [ ] function to collect new configs
-- [ ] config options for users and groups
+- [X] function to collect new configs -> Not smart because templates
+- [X] config options for users and groups
 - [ ] presets for things like desktops (like Hyprland)
 - [ ] config options for the template rendering
 - [ ] config options for themes
 - [ ] grub config
 - [ ] Dynamic selection of more configs (i.e. require syntax)
-- [ ] Own config syntax?
+- [X] Own config syntax? -> just use yaml
 - [ ] Autocompletion
 - [ ] Basic arch install how? -> Probably manual (or semi-automatic)
 - [ ] Mounts?
+- [ ] Conditional require
