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.
Hard disagree. I don’t change distros because something stopped working, especially if it’s something fixable. It is to experiment different distributions and their fundamental differences.
Same here! I use fedora at home (my first Linux distro) and arch on my smaller laptop. I am happy with both…but occasionally i like to test if the “grass is greener” elsewhere. I always come back to my original choices.
