Modern computer has near infinite amout of software.

Do i want write code. Yes.

Do i want to write ALL of it. No.

But linux assumes you kinda sorta do want to do it.

Why would OS devs bother supporting hardware drives when people can do it themselves amirite? Who doesn't know how to write a kernel module anyway...

Also bluetooth, who even needs that? It's important that we have out of the box docker support. /s

Yeah, and messing around configuring and troubleshooting my OS gets in the way of my preferred "hacking".
