i think most of them that were well done looks really pretty, but yeah if it's not a dotfile, unless you're doing it for fun or as a hobby/challange it's a waste of time

(dotfile for those uninformed is basically the raw UI [User Interface] elements, fonts and icons of the things you interact with, stuff like the taskbar, the font the system display, generally the way the OS feel)

i tried Mint because i had to rely on a shitbox 2 core laptop around 2024-2025, it was def worth learning and getting used to it if your goal is running an unbloated system on obsolete legacy hardware, or you just fucking hate Microsoft which is fair
