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.
But you still do the security patches right?
No. I also turn off all mitigations. I am a monster!
I mean if it's a gapped system... 🫣
I used to be him, missing deadlines to get my xmonad taskbar all spec'd out. Now only "hop" when my LTS is EOL, and i just run the default UI and use tmux for all my tiling since i tend to be mainly on remote systems anyway.
This reminds me of the eMacs interview
And that's the point of configuring.
I've recently switched completely to Linux on my desktop. I'm waiting with configuration and theming and so on until KDE 6 is fully released. On the one hand it's annoying because I WANT to get to it, but luckily the defaults are very good already, so it's not too bad!
Currently in the process of getting my ducks in a row to move to a different distro. The one on my computer right now has some shortcomings that I just can't look past. I need to scan something, and Manjaro can't build the driver I need. Manjaro has been sadness and disappointment, both times that I've tried it. Don't use Manjaro.
