I made my DEs somewhat pretty but never got too deep into ricing. Then I switched to i3-gaps. But I still spent a lot of time configuring and comparing terminal emulators, shell prompts, completion, vim plugins, iommu/vfio...

At one point I got sick of it all and decided to switch back to Windows/MacOS, not configure anything too heavily, install tools when I need them, and use all tools as vanilla as possible. Besides not having to maintain all this stuff I also realized I could then ssh into any machine and not miss my customized tools.
