There’s some revenge bedtime procrastination going on sometimes that affects my sleep schedule so I guess I could sleep a bit more

Yea I put it into the same category with manual arch/gentoo installation. It’s definitely worth to do one time and understand the process. Then it’s up to you whether you want to have stuff that just works out of the box or you find pleasure in tinkering and customizing the environment along with trying to get things done

There’s a learning experience to it though. When coding in intellij I’m just using writing some java without deep understanding how the build system works ans what’s done underneath. Setting up some nvim with lsp forces you to focus more on the whole process so I’d say it can be beneficial
