I totally agree with you. For the actual work, all tools are mostly the same, I am still using IntelliJ idea, vscode, chrome, etc.

I had just moved away from windows because of some problematic updates in 2019 and to learn Docker. But I do like the level of customization that can be done in Linux. I spent 3 hrs yesterday to manually customize my terminals look instead of installing zsh or bash themes 😂. That's why I sometimes question my choices.

After writing this post, I have done close to zero development and am just looking for perfect Distro, Now I want to install manjaro. It would take another 2 days to get everything on it according to my needs and customizing applications on it again. That's why I think overall my personal productivity has declined recently on Ubuntu 20.04.
