With great power comes great responsibility.

Linux does invoke my internal tinkerer, but I've learned to push back against that. Sometimes I don't feel like sitting down to work, but if I sit down to customize my machine it often naturally leads to hours of work from 15 minutes of tinkering.

Plus, I wouldn't survive in my job if I couldn't control my urge to configure. I spend a huge chunk of time using Linux servers.

You have better will power than I. I’m a combat vet diagnosed with ptsd, I often wonder if that has anything todo with me being easily distracted. I don’t think I was as much that way when I was younger.
