    After a ton of time, I’ve taken time to check for some config problems with some apps in my Mac, such as vlc, iTerm2, etc.
    It turned out to be a backup app, mackup, that I used to backup config files. It worked replacing config paths for symlinks pointing to wherever you want your backups to be.
    Since macOS 14 Sonoma (♾️ time ago) using symlinks from ~/Library/Preferences/* to something DOES NOT WORK at system level.
    Check the warning here: github.com/lra/mackup?tab=read

    So, don't use mackup. #mackup
