Reinstalling Linux (again)

I've reinstalled Linux three times in two months. Every time it starts the same I tell myself this will be the clean setup I stick with.

It usually lasts a few days before I start tweaking things again, breaking configs, or deciding I don't like how something feels.

I don't think it's really about the setup. It's more the reset. There's something about starting from zero that feels like progress, even if nothing actually changed.
