The real reason I don’t waste time distro hopping on Linux
Quoting: Why distrohopping is truly a waste of time —
Are you a distro hopper? Then perhaps you can help me see the appeal. To me, the fundamental properties of a system are what make it special, not the superficial changes made every few months. Perhaps I'm wrong? But here's why I think it's a waste of time.
Distro hopping has been around for as long as I've used Linux, and I've never understood it. I see it as digital feng shui, where people obsessively move the furniture around because they're bored. I sometimes wonder: am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong. For me, choosing a distro is about the fundamental aspects I cannot configure. It's about architecture, not about the shiny new toys, because you can install those toys on any distro. Even now as I write this, I'm dragging my palm down across my face.
