I have the same attitude as you do. When I was younger I spent so much time tweaking and changing Linux distros and desktops. Now I just install any Debian based distro and enable the dark theme. I pretty much leave everything as default. I spent most of my time in the apps I use, DBeaver for database work, Firefox and whatever editor I am using. I am bemused by the passionate partisan comments in this thread. I am long past that but thankful to all developers working on Open Source desktops.

Yeah, I have a hard time justifying hyper-customization. I understand that folks want to work efficiently, but as a dev, I need to stop and think about what I’m doing. I also have a tendency to rabbit-hole (actual feedback from my peers and manager), and if I leave myself unchecked I’ll probably spend more time “optimizing my workflow” than doing actually useful stuff. These days, the only real changes I tend to make are installing oh-my-zsh (thereby outsourcing the low-level tweaks to someone else) and Sublime with a handful of plugins (does that count?).
