There's a Buddhist parable about someone spending their whole life building a boat to cross a small river and dying before they made it across.
Around freshman year of college I switched to Mac. Realized I wanted my computer to be a tool, not a hobby. Some config is fine, but for the most part I stick to the defaults now and trust that people who spent years thinking about this stuff have it handled. If they don’t, it’s probably because I’m not their target user and should pick a different app or OS.
But the older I get, the more I prefer Window's Traditional UI. Needless to say, I don't like W11's design choices at all.
