and fyi, that's what i meant when i said "i lose respect for anyone who uses it"

i would also roll my eyes pretty hard if you said "look i downloaded a repo full of dotfiles and now my arch desktop has liquid glass everywhere", cool kid im glad you're happy with it but it's not impressive and its not wise

it's a super common noob mistake to lean into customizing a Linux desktop too much at the expense of long term stability, Linux is highly tunable and you can make so many changes, it's so easy to make choices that bite you in the ass soon

it might look and work cool for 3, 6, 12 months, but it's nearly a certainty that you'll show up to work one day and your whole desktop is crashed and unusable due to these dumb mods you adopted and you have to spend 2 days recovering everything

vs just using vanilla debian where everything is rock solid, will run for years, and you can reinstall fresh in 22 minutes

you want to drive an off-the-shelf Honda to work, not a F1 racecar where every part is special order
