Distro hopping is often seen as a sort of sickness. Something that you should strive to stop. But why is that? Many Linux experts have done it, and it doesn’t seem to have done any harm. In fact, I happen to believe that distro hopping is something that, while you shouldn’t probably continue to do forever, is deeply beneficial to anyone attempting to learn Linux. So, I will go through some reasons why you, yes you, should consider distro hopping.
Yeah I definitely did it as a learner, but years go by and eventually you get old and lazy. You find something that works perfectly, and then you think, “Should I just let this thing keep working perfectly, or should I stop everything in my life so I can break my OS and spend hours/days/weeks/months/years fixing it?”
I haven’t changed distros in a long, long time. ^_^
