Once your system setup reaches perfection (it won't), you're finally free to fine-tune VIM to your exact needs.

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.
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?"
Job site got canceled, away from home, nothing else to do. Spent the last few hours cleaning up and "perfecting" my Home Assistant. I'm sure I'll do it again in a few days.
It's never perfect!
I have a temperature sensor in box here that I haven't yet installed...hmmmmmwhere could I put it!
Actually if Shelly ever gets me the stuff I ordered IN NOVEMBER I would replace the one for the pellet stove with that...but last night I saw a Tuya Zigbee air quality monitor on Amazon for under $25 that would be even better...
Oh wait, I installed a Zigbee switch the other day but haven't added the lights it controls to my floor plan view!

If you are done configuring your system, you did something wrong.
Or you finally got a girlfriend.
Pretty much. After I got married and started having kids I just want a PC setup that just works when I want to do anything on it. Without needing to troubleshoot some esoteric issue because apparently my motherboard is on a different revision version that changes the WiFi card to use some shit ass MediaTek card ONLY for that revision and now I can't use WiFi or Bluetooth and I need to troubleshoot the issue for hours.

You won't believe this, but I've actually finished configuring my linux
not believing intensifies
that's the moment you're supposed to change distro.
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.
Fine
But is your config standards-compliant and linted?
Does it degrade gracefully enough that you can load it on 1980s Unices and what is possible to load will load? Without emitting error messages??
I used to just crastinate but now Iβm a pro.
Yeah, I used to reconfigure things quite a lot while I was still a student. Now with a dayjob, I'm glad if I can just use my laptop to get actual things done. Having previously figured out a really good setup, is very helpful in getting things done, though.
I run my emby and jellyfin server, my desktop, printer server, plus a bunch of other shit I canβt think of right now.
If any of that shit doesnβt work, I will be annoyed. So Iβm certainly not tinkering with it all the time.
emby and jellyfin
you need both of these things? Dont they both do exactly the same thing?
Lol the roku client for emby was annoying me, so I installed jellyfin just so I could use the jellyfin roku client. Which turns out to also be buggy and annoying. So now Iβm running both and Iβm tempted to install plex next.
I'm one of the programmers of the Jellyfin Roku client. Would you mind sharing what things you found to be buggy and annoying in the client? We're always looking for feedback for things to work on and improve.

My kernel is 3 commits behind... gotta rebuild πΉ
Problem I have, is, after I finish tinkering and settle down with my computer for some days/months, then even anything needs fixing or changing I've forgotten how I do it!
Now you have got a good excuse to setup something to manage your knowledge base.
I recommend markdown:
- frequently_encountered_issues.md
- lots of helper scripts scripts
- Setup guides mostly taken from their respective arch wiki pages but stripped down to only show my custom setup
- a markdown file per os per machine
- etc
- Also link back to the original resources. Still copy them though. The internet is temporary.

I'm actually disappointed when I boot up and nothing is broken or needs maintenance.
That's why I create new problems constantly
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 got past that phase a long time ago. I just use Fedora and Debian with mostly defaults
Same with Manjaro for me
I already use it efficiently to configure more stuff.
*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.
When you try to explain to people that ricing isn't a means, it's the end.
I've finally stopped distrohopping. I'm now on nobara (used arch before that btw), and don't feel the urge, nor have the energy to distrohop, even though I want to find out what's so great about nix. That said, I still only use my computer for movies, games, and browsing, so I guess the meme still stands.
I used to be him, missing deadlines to get my xmonad taskbar all spec'd out. Now only "hop" when my LTS is EOL, and i just run the default UI and use tmux for all my tiling since i tend to be mainly on remote systems anyway.
Considering how often I'll dig around in my old elisp files before giving up on using emacs again, I think I've actually spent more time configuring it than using it.

me with (neo)vim
Every time I spend four hours figuring out how to get one tiny little thing working better in vim I find another even smaller issue that I desperately need to dig in to, and thus my actual personal projects never get worked on. I should just give up and call "tweaking my vimrc" a hobby.
