Description

I use stow to symlink my dotfiles and some scripts dont work as they use find without -follow/-L, I fixed these with a PR in some scripts but I believe there are more scripts with this patetrn and during each update some new script breaks. Would be nice to have some sort of universal fix, or contribution guideline about using -follow/-L when adding and find

Ref: #924
Ref: #887

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use symlinked .config, for example shaders config
  2. Reload with hydectl
  3. You will start seeing hyprland error messages

Expected Behavior

Should work with symlinks

Actual Behavior

Broken
