This kind of thing is a huge part of why I fell in love with Linux so long ago.
Customizing your system to the point that no one else can use it?
lol, no. Being able to do what I want with it is what I have appreciated. It's like having a computer without that obnoxious glue in the screws so you can take it apart if you want to.
I've done some weird stuff like making the volume wheel on the keyboard scroll or perform other functions, and it came in pretty handy in text editors or browsers, but less handy when you want to turn the volume down. Any time you have some weird idea like that, there's usually a pretty feasible way to make it work.
