    you can (at least in theory) copy your centralized exact configuration to another computer and get an OS that behaves exactly the same and has all the same packages.

    As can you with grepping your history of apt commands? And back up that to a file of a few dozen kilobytes too.

    Am I stupid?

      assuming you have never used anything except apt commands to change the state of your system. (and are fine with doings superfluous changes eg. apt install foo && apt remove foo)
