That may apply to some Linux users but I've used software from the Big, 
Bad Corporation for years but I prefer Linux. I spend a lot of time 
tinkering and compiling software because that is/was my job description 
but it isn't aimed at the OS. 

I very seldom do any tweaking beyond setting a left handed mouse, changing 
the wallpaper, moving the icons on the taskbar to the left, and so forth 
-- exactly the same things I do on a Window box.
