You are right. And to be honest. I bought into the hype at first as well. Then I tried it out and wasn’t impressed.
A large chunk of what makes Linux so special is being able to setup your distro/DE/WM in your opinionated way. I think this goes against that satisfying DIY. Especially since important decisions are made for you like the theme, the keybinds, the default apps and how it all fits together. That’s a lot of trust to hand over to someone else’s script.
