    Gosh I wish I was as good as you cuties, I could never get my desktop to work exactly right! All those little things I couldn’t perfect made me so angy I mostly just use Windows…

      The secret is, every setup has some sharp edges. Filing them away one by one is a life long a joyous process

      Modifying the configs for your specific desktop environment to make it look and act exactly as you want.

        Oh I get it, yeah I like doing that too, but I do it on Debian instead of Arch because that’s what I installed, and instead of a Thinkpad it’s an ex-chromebook (UEFI flashed, doesn’t support ChromeOS anymore).

      iirc it comes from car culture. Highly modifying the system (mostly cosmetically) to look real cool
