Just swinging by to say I appear to have evolved as a Linux user / software engineer recently. Something happened and now I care less about customisation and want stuff to Just Work with very little config. So I'm trying out Fedora + Gnome after years of arch and i3.
I think what changed is that I've been so busy and overloaded for so long that something switched and now I prioritise less fiddly things to worry about. I care more about getting shit done well and less about how?
@Olical I think customization is more like… entertainment in some way? When I’m overloaded with tasks, I rarely do anything to my configuration. But other time, I just tweak Neovim and other stuff for fun.
(Though it does make me code faster I think?)
@eltrac yep, I can see that. Code is becoming more of a thing I just do as my career and a bit of side projects these days and less "my main passion and all I think about" which probably contributes to the shift. Everything is becoming a tool I use to achieve a goal and the goal is what I care about more now, not so much the exact path I take to get there.
I'm still on Neovim though, I'm way too invested in that ecosystem and I have no need to tweak, I'm really happy with that setup.
