-Going directly to hardware trials because virtualbox support requires too much undesirable configuration:
+Fresh install after swapping motherboards since Gigabyte hasn't fixed the reboot problems in 1.5 years.
 
+- Verify gvm reloads properly as I have copied it to bashrc
+- Verify swapping export locations into bash_profile does not break (_eg. due to alacritty only loading bashrc not bash_profile_)
+- Test the new sway exit command works by properly terminating session services
+	- _Figure out what is still broken so I can exit and restart sway without rebooting?_
 
----
+- modify alacritty.yml to match former xdefaults
+	- [reference](https://sunnnychan.github.io/cheatsheet/linux/config/alacritty.yml.html)
+	- We can set the program and args to force it to load bash_profile and eliminate redundant gvm logic while fixing the other major issue I had with it?
