How often do you hop distros? (self.linux)

Just curious to see what people are up to. I've been using Nixos for a while. It's fabulous and I have absolutely no reason to switch, but part of me is itching to hop to Debian or maybe OpenSUSE. How about you?

What do you mean by "bend over backwards"?

It's a common English idiom, referring to something that is difficult or taxing to accomplish, often without payoff.

I see. To me using EndeavourOS is not bending over backwards, because it is not more difficult than using bare metal Archlinux. Just saying, because you say you don't understand people doing that. I don't do it. EndeavourOS makes it more easy and less headache to use Arch in my opinion. And from that perspective, it's a win situation.
