I don't even do that. I find the {mint, PopOS} defaults to be incredibly sane. I think I changed the background of mint. I'm always SO very confused when I need to use a MacOS or Windows machine.
That said, you can get the feeling out of the corner of your usage that something's gonna give. There has been painful transitionary stuff going on (remember X vs wayland? ifupdown vs networkmanager vs netplan? systemd? musl vs glibc?) that somehow the community papered over in a sane fashion for GP use, but when I was "sysadminnnig" stuff as an accessory to the stuff I was coding, it was loads of pain normalizing between different machines and moving from distro to distro. This could get even worse as stuff moves to containerized work, so the people most likely to complain due to bearing the most pain just stop caring.
