I like to think we can treat all of these as 'you can' rather than 'you should'.
The "if you're not spending X hours configuring it, you're not Committed To It" (enforced by 'helpful' amateur-tech-support folks and self-deprecating question-askers alike) turned me off of Linux culture a decade ago and it makes me uncomfy everywhere I see it now. ✨
