I do miss the way I used to be where I would get things exactly as I want and experiment with things. Now I just want to slap something on and be using it within the hour.
i created a convincing lcars interface based on enlightenment 20-ish years ago and it would take on a whole new level of enjoyment nowadays with a touchscreen laptop; i could pretend that i have a padd. lol
that part of my comment was meant to be a self indictment/reflection; i'm a bit of a linux cuck since i've adapted myself to fit ordinary distros' designs instead of creating something that works for me. lol
that's why i marvel at people who do the needful that i should be doing, like here.
