Hi,
After creating and saving a configuration with `ct-ng menuconfig`, is
the generated ".config" file portable? By portable, I mean can I copy
the generated config file to a different machine with possibly different
packages installed and build a toolchain all the same?
Thanks,
Jason

Won't the results on different machines (with the same `.config`) depend on the specifics (e.g. versions) of the dependencies installed?

Which is why some sort of "constrained" environment (e.g. VM/container based) may be useful for predictable results?

Yes they should be portable. Running ct-ng upgrade config on the 2nd
machine will also help.
