I saw a post on the Mastodony side of Fediverse saying “Some people tweak their Linux installs in the same way other people tend to their home gardens” and it gave me 2d6 of psychic damage because it was just true and was also about me.
I don’t even hop distros, I just like fucking around with the configs and shit of the distro I’m already at. It’s – How I procrastinate. Rather than do work I play around with reorganizing my work setup.
That’s it, I’m setting up a LFS box and hostnaming it something garden-related, there’s always a package to be updated
Get into Home Assistant. A whole new world of tinkering and reconfiguring, with the added stress of real world “Why didn’t that extremely complex automation controlling my porch lights work?”
I have a pi docker setup I could run it on… Don’t tell me that 😂
Is there a list somewhere of HA friendly less proprietary… Stuff that works well with it?
You need a
.gitfolder at the root of your system.Ostree 👾
… And Fedora Silverblue. Perfect for tinkering. I love how I can always install apps and remove them at my leisure, without leaving traces ;)
Once your system setup reaches perfection (it won’t), you’re finally free to fine-tune VIM to your exact needs.

Already done… but now I feel like I need to switch to Neovim… and now I have to research Neovim plugins and configs….
god damn it! I was about to say that I’m done configuring after decades and can finally be productive, then I saw your comment. 🤦♂️
Nah, it’s cyclical. We can figure one for a few years, then try out a new promising distro then we can figure that one for a few years…
I’m actually disappointed when I boot up and nothing is broken or needs maintenance.
That’s why I create new problems constantly
You won’t believe this, but I’ve actually finished configuring my linux
There are things I believe. This is not one of those things.
I already finished 10 times. And I probably will be doing 10 times again.
Except you count a windows vm with gpu-passthrough then I am still on it.
*Laughs in Debian
apt hooks get in the way of your thinkering.
Debian will slap you every time you decide to do some deep tinkering, so you develop healthy pavlovian reflexes.
It’s the only way to have enough free time to organize my drawers in gridfinity boxes.
