    Nah, 98% of my tweaking is because I have a laptop as a daily driver. The last 2% is trying to get pipewire to ignore my headset mic in favour of the built-in mic and breaking things in the process, but I couldn’t even get windows to actually use my headphones for years.

    I constantly wanted to fiddle with windows, but couldn’t, and then had unrelated things just decide to break. And this was in the 7 days. Everything after that has actively hated me.
