Distro hopping is for noobs.
In general you should change distro only if current one fails to meet your needs
This isn't sarcasm - operating system isn't a toy. Most people aren't using OS just for the sake of it. It's a tool to run stuff you need for work/entertainment
Its my toy and you can't change my mind.
You don't represent the majority of users
I'm changing distros just to spite you.
Based
Neither do you, yet more people agree with his point of view.
And you don't either
your on a community of linux users, we aren't the majority.
He never said he did lol
My needs are for my os to be my toy
My OS is a toy. I need to have fun with it.
People should do whatever the hell they like.
There's no harm in trying out a lot of different distros for the fun of it if that's what you find entertaining, and it's educational to see the state of what's out there.
Not needing to stay locked to a specific distro is part of why Linux is great, and very unlike Mac or Windows.
If you like being loyal then be loyal, that's a fine choice too, and freedom of choice is what this is all about.
My need is to distro-hop.
Gatekeeping in the open source community is kinda ironic
You drive a gold '93 Corolla in base configuration, don't you?
