       #Linux hot take. "Customizability" is a footgun and people should stop advertising it as a feature. I've seen new usersInstall KDE on Mint CinnamonFill their bashrc with aliases that make no senseInstall a dozen vim packages that replace built-in features with worse versions of those featuresIf you're frustrated using FOSS, your first thought should be "am I using it wrong?" not "how do I fix it?". You can't differentiate between "different" and "bad" without experience

       One of the things that makes #Linux great is that it's something you can get good at. There's a paradigm and if you learn it, those skills are transferable between distros and decadesIt's not like Windows where settings mosey between 4 different versions of the control panel. The tools you add to your toolbox will be useful in the futureIf your first step is to create a frankensystem then you're probably just making it worse and you're certainly making it impossible to debug
