ACK. And sounds like religions. Cant find one whose opinions fit
100% with mine, so basically i have my own one.
For linux i take the distro that comes closest to my needs and
modify it to fit my needs. 

Windows and macos environments are more like vendor-prepared, you
can take it as a whole, but modifycations besides that road will
not lead far away.
