No doubt about that whatsoever.

For instance, you've not once hacked the source to make any significant 
feature or GUI changes to your Linux apps or desktops.

In theory, you could tinker with the code and screens to your heart's 
content (since you have the source).

In practice, you don't have the skill.  Very very very few do.

Got it, bozo?
