So yeah, I was a distrohopper. Here are the distros I have used in chronological order:
- Ubuntu
- Windows 8/10 (Let's say that I didn't know how to install nVidia drivers on Ubuntu)
- Ubuntu (again)
- Kubuntu (I used to love KDE)
- KDE Neon (I realised that there were newer versions of KDE plasma available)
- OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
- Manjaro
- Arch (I had to reinstall > 6 times)
- Fedora Silverblue (I got in love with immutablity)
- Arch (I did not know it was possible to layer packages on
rpm-ostree
based systems) - Parabola (This was when I hated "blobs")
- Guix—with no desktop
- Debian Sid (Broke once or twice)
- Pop!_OS: When I came to my senses and quit using rolling-release distros
- Ubuntu (Again, second time)
- Vanilla OS (Really, Really good)
- Blend OS (Less than 24 hours)
- Fedora Silverblue (Yes, again!)
- Elementary OS
- Vanilla OS (Yet again)
- NixOS
- Windows 11
- macOS (hackintosh)
My tip? Don't bother distrohopping. Choose a stable OS with Anti-Idiot Measures™️ (e.g. immutability, ability to reinstall without touching user data, a recovery partition, etc.) of your choice on your primary computer, and screw up a secondary computer or a container with nuclear fallout whatever you want.
