And for those who want to defend their hours & hours spent twaddling
around with their gear to finally get something to work, if you consider
your time to do such things to not count as anything other than "free",
well I've got a lawn for you to mow...

You really miss a lot of points. First, if you don't want to spend hours
to configure Linux, you just don't. You can use it out of the box. Then,
unlike Mac which needs to be done in Apple's way, with Linux you can, if
you want, change its behaviour to make it work as you want. It doesn't
require hours and hours of constant modifications but minutes from time
to time. And each minute invested is used times and times again, so I
really value my time and instead of keeping loosing time because of bad
design by others, I win time with having something that suits me. And
finely, you can use the time spend by others to start from something
almost ready to adapt it easily to your own needs. There's a lot of
configuration files and ideas to help you improve your configuration
effortlessly.

So yes, I value my time and my confort. And you didn't gave me anything
to mow because your way would make me lost a lot of time and comfort.

When I do something it's useful for a really long time. For example,
When I started to learn about tilling Windows Managers, it was with
wmii. Then I was able to use a lot of its configuration to switch to
i3wm. And then, it was the same with swaywm. So with the lot of
similarities between the WM, I used the same shortcuts and I didn't need
to learn anything new. For a very few time invested during the years.
Unlike Windows, which changed everything with each upgrade and I needed
a few months to find my way out each time.
