How often do you hop distros? (lemmy.world)

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?

I started using Linux about 6 years ago. First 3 years were a hopping-hell. The other 3 have been with Arch, Manjaro then made the jump to endeavourOS almost 1.5 years ago and haven't gone anywhere else, and not planning on it at all. Just realized that hopping was just useless. Now I can finally set it up and enjoy my system.

That's basically been my path - I started with Ubuntu in 2007, then Mint, then Fedora, then BLAG, Crunchbang, god knows how many others, and then finally, Arch. After being on arch for a few years, I switched to Antergos, and endeavorOS when Antergos was retired (rip in peace, I loved it).

I've been steady with Arch/Antergos/EndeavourOS for the better part of a decade and I have no inclination to hop any more.

Yeah, Arch and what comes from it are great. I never have to worry about flatpaks or snaps or any of that. Just have my snapshots set up and I'm good to go
