Awesome. I remember that same feeling. For me that experience was slightly tainted by being really picky about customizations but then I found out quickly that literally any customization is possible. As a friend put it: most OSes are like buying a house. Using Linux is like being your own architect. You can use someone else's blueprints and be fine. But anything you wanna change about that blueprint is probably doable. In any case, you're in charge of your house, not some asshole CEO.
