It’s a never-ending quest, isn’t it? Every time i think i’m ‘done’ customizing my dotfiles or finding that ultimate terminal theme, i stumble upon another rabbit hole. Just one more alias, one more keybinding, one more tiny script to automate a task that already takes two clicks. i tell myself it’s about efficiency, but my productivity says otherwise. Anyone else stuck in this cycle? My brain needs an apt update && apt upgrade.
As long as it doesn’t hold you back in your real work you can just keep tweaking because it is fun. Just see it as a hobby where you learn things and potentially improve your workflow for other tasks.
Not the case for me, I’ll typically spend a solid week or two tweaking things after I initially set it up to get all the hardware working perfectly, then never touch the configuration again even as things slowly start breaking with updates.
This whole post is a lie to manipulate people into engaging with an astroturfing bot.
It’s all about the journey.
i got to jump back in recently w a new laptop that came w windows.
i’ve been buying linux first hardware for the last decade and going through this exercise has been eye opening for; i wasn’t aware of much the landscape has changed.
I was like that for about 8 years after switching to Linux. Then I just started accepting most of the defaults. I have my fish configs and my tmux configs, and that’s about it.
As a perfectionist myself, perfect is the enemy of the good. It’s good that you’re still learning and finding possible improvements. If you haven’t already, may I suggest organizing a copy of your customizations and dotfiles in one neat location? Saves a lot of mental anguish when you need to track down that edit to a config file you made some months ago.
