Was about to mention this. 25y+ linux user here, we all had our ricing phase, where we'd customize our desktop and shell to oblivion. Now, I'm always on a as-vanilla-as-possible Ubuntu machine, or a Macbook with the same default wallpaper that came when I bought it.

The only thing I do to my new systems is installing oh-my-zsh, because that gives me a lot of goodies for basically zero configuration (I just use and learned the default presets to be "my own")

Since we're now bragging about how vanilla our systems are, the only things I install are wezterm, nushell, helix, nix. I've moved everything else into git repo's so they're no longer system configs, but project configs.

Last week I took a repo full of notes about the sizes of building materials and made inkscape and gimp "dependencies" of that project.

Next time I install Linux I think I'm going to make the filesystem immutable so that I not only don't configure it, but can't.

I think the next move is to not install Linux at all, completely impossible to mutate as it's not even existent? lol
