Anyways, you didn’t qualify “hours” as being relative to any other timeframe, so I’m not sure if you literally mean you’ve spent less than one hour configuring your machine and/or discussing its configuration. However, you seem to wear it as almost a badge of pride, and I even sense some condescension, and I find that pretty silly. That’s like being proud of not learning another language. If you wanted to argue my time investment was worthless, you would have to know it gained me nothing versus just using macOS. However, given that I decide what’s worth my time, this is honestly pointless. I actually enjoy trying to improve my setup, especially in ways that makes my life easier.
It’s easy to see a bunch of Linux nerds talking about text editors or WMs and conclude it’s a waste of time, but I disagree. It’s only a waste of time if you have no interest in exploring it. As for the tangible benefits, I may very well have more macOS experience than you do Linux experience, so from what standpoint are you qualified to even judge that, even that angle were truly relevant?
Even if I loved the macOS interface, I sure as shit don’t love Apple. How much would I have to pay to get performance equivalent to my 5950X on macOS? Is there even such a thing? I could use Linux/KVM to make an AMD Hackintosh setup, but I better be careful to spend under 60 minutes on configuring it lest I sacrifice my benefits.
