People here are always talking about different distros, trying this one and then that one until they found what they like. Are you guys really just reinstalling your OS that often? Reinstalling all the programs you want and everything?
I've gone fedora gnome, fedora kde, mint and now am on endeavour gnome. It's not windows, installing a new distro is painless and I keep my settings in a separate drive.
it's called "distrohopping", and yes. nowadays it's easier to do it in a vm, but less fun
I did for a few years, finally think I'm settled on arch for desktop, but for servers, hurry is still out
I'm not. Mint is all I need, Mint is all I want.
These comments really make me wonder if people would just get therapy instead of installing Arch if therapy was cheaper.
Yes. About once every 2-3 months. Itβs something of a hobby.
When I started out, I used to change distros like socks lol While you do have to reinstall programs, having a separate /home partition means that you can keep your stuff between changes
Why not? It takes a few hours at most, and I get a new interesting experience.
It is amazing if you've settled on your distribution of choice, though.
