    Nah, it’s cyclical. We can figure one for a few years, then try out a new promising distro then we can figure that one for a few years…

    Considering how often I’ll dig around in my old elisp files before giving up on using emacs again, I think I’ve actually spent more time configuring it than using it.

    I’ve used gentoo in my home for 23 years now. The good news is I’m down to system rebuilds once every 18 months or so.

    I saw a post on the Mastodony side of Fediverse saying “Some people tweak their Linux installs in the same way other people tend to their home gardens” and it gave me 2d6 of psychic damage because it was just true and was also about me.

    I don’t even hop distros, I just like fucking around with the configs and shit of the distro I’m already at. It’s – How I procrastinate. Rather than do work I play around with reorganizing my work setup.

      Get into Home Assistant. A whole new world of tinkering and reconfiguring, with the added stress of real world “Why didn’t that extremely complex automation controlling my porch lights work?”

        I have a pi docker setup I could run it on… Don’t tell me that 😂

    Once your system setup reaches perfection (it won’t), you’re finally free to fine-tune VIM to your exact needs.
