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.
You are denying yourself the opportunity to learn how to solve a problem.
I will argue most people distro hop because they got bored and wanted to explore something new or different. They already learned, that’s the trigger (or problem).
