I think yours is a pragmatic attitude in this age of interconnected complex technologies. Debugging things is satisfying but time sucking.

My eclipse on fedora has a hideously annoying flashing effect while editing e.g HTML files. Seems to be caused by the top menu disappearing and then appearing again a second later. The janky effect is infuriating, but at the same time, half an hour or so of googling has led to nothing, and I can sense a rabbit hole of frustration if I try and get to the bottom of it.

The most pragmatic approach feels to be too just put up with it until something else happens - perhaps a shift to Ubuntu so that I can screen share again will resolve it.
