    Distro hopping is for noobs.

    In general you should change distro only if current one fails to meet your needs

      You forgot the /S.

      You should only change distros because you friggin feel like it. Don’t gatekeep man, it’s fun to try new things, especially when they are neato free and useful. Be supportive of exploration, that’s how new things get discovered.

      People should do whatever the hell they like.

      There’s no harm in trying out a lot of different distros for the fun of it if that’s what you find entertaining, and it’s educational to see the state of what’s out there.

      Not needing to stay locked to a specific distro is part of why Linux is great, and very unlike Mac or Windows.

      If you like being loyal then be loyal, that’s a fine choice too, and freedom of choice is what this is all about.

    Linux is the family, you’re just meeting different people at the different spots of the buffet

    I can’t wait to get my new laptop in November. I’m going to make my old one a Linux-only machine for all non-gaming purposes, and 100% going back to Mint.

      You can get a cheap Chromebook too, I got one in front of me! 140€, corebooted with MrChromebox coreboot, runs LUKS encrypted Fedora Kinoite just fine!

      Battery lasts 8h, but that thing has no storage and a pretty damn slow CPU

    I switched from Pop_OS! to KDE Neon because I wanted to try out the latest Plasma features. I was tired of GNOME’s bloat and needing an extension/Tweaks for basic functionality.

    Then KDE broke screen sharing, bricked my install once by breaking LUKS disk encryption, and then it booted to a black screen on updating to the latest LTS…

    So now I’m on Mint and all of my servers are on Debian because I want something that just works. Lol. No more distro hopping.

      How did KDE break your LUKS…? I find that hard to imagine

      Also KDE Neon is a test distro (they don’t call it that from what I remember) for those who want to try out newest KDE lol
