First thing i do, when i get a OS, is take a iron broom to the various Programmer Egos in the room. It has to go, the notifications, the ballons, the updates and other busy work simulators. GUI goes grey, the various empty real estate modes are turned off. Then i try to protect the environment i created from the damage the original creators can do. Take a snapshot, kick the VMs Network driver if needs be. If something has annoying sound adds, i rather rip the sounddriver out of my phone then let it play loud - even in the background. Nobody is taking my attention hostage, i learned programming to turn my devices into servants of myself. Any coup by others will be meet with brutal punishment, and if it annoys me enough, that punishment will be available to others as a crack. On my ideal workstation, your GUI designers starve and your bloat programmers hunger.
