What are the worst #linux #opensource #freesoftware #libresoftware rabbit holes of all?

My top contenders:
1. Emacs
2. Guix / Nix

I went all in on Emacs which cost or saved me years of my life -- I will never know which. So far I resisted Guix.

@tmalsburg I'd say that, at least for me, emacs is time neutral. Some tasks become easier (magit!, keyboard macros!, dired!) but I lose about the same amount of time futzing around.

But spending time using tools you enjoy is a lot better than spending it using tools that annoy you and that's gotta count for something.

I won't touch guix because, for me, it would be a bottomless rabbit hole that I'd never return from.
