Migrating off PLAT isolation

Page source

Source: Troubleshooting reference

If you set up with DF_USE_PLAT=1 and want to switch to flat (or vice-versa), the layout in ~/.local/ is stable as long as one mode is active — but switching strands GBs in the unused tree. Decommission tool:

Terminal window
# After setting DF_USE_PLAT=0 (or removing use_plat=true from chezmoi data):
bash ~/dotfiles/install/plat-decommission.sh

Refuses to run if DF_USE_PLAT=1 is currently set (won’t nuke the active install). See PLAT isolation for the full migration story.
