Linux on the desktop is freaking awesome now. I wouldn’t have it any other way. It took me a few hours to get Arch the way I want it (with KDE) and everything just works now.

Only a few hours? I don’t know how many hours I’ve poured into tweaking.

You‘re right, it’s probably days for me, every time i take a look at r/unixporn i want to change my setup to a new colorscheme.

just a statistics I've gathered over openspace where I was working ~ 10 years ago - 50% or even more Windows desktops (not laptops by that time) had the same screensaver and default background which gave me a huge insight on how much customizations people really need, even for probably easiest configuration change.

For myself I count this way - 5% of population is a deviation for any given aspect - so far I think it predicts things very close.
