If you're going to distro hop, do it, don't let people tell you you're wrong. I've learned how to set up and use a variety of Linux and BSD systems by distro hopping. But, I think maybe you should set up one system that is solid and then distro hop in virtual machines using VirtualBox. It works well and often can handle things like Haiku and Amiga type OSes as well. Just for fun, of course.

What is it about flatpaks that bothers you? I am curious. My experience with them is good, except that are sometimes slower to launch.

Or, even better, use containers to have access to whatever distro/packaging system you want, like Vanilla OS does.

@NegativeLookBehind @cujo @BitingChaos some people don’t have much choice. Their jobs demand it. At least in Linux you’d be able to really sandbox them and route them through filters to prevent spying if you know what you’re doing.

I think you'll be happy with the management tools in OpenSuSE They literally make almost everything simple to set up, from a GUI perspective, and if you actually know what you're doing, it will make your day so much less stressful.

@Roderik @joojmachine what’s the obsession with bloat?

@jsnc @JuxtaposedJaguar that seems a bit too “zealot” to me. And viable competitor is exactly the right phrase to use, or am I mistaken in thinking I use Linux instead of HURD?

@Carter @H2207 You don’t really have to tinker with any distro. Once you set it up just let it be with a schedule of updates that fits your usecase. If you feel compelled to constantly update and rejigger, that’s you, not the distro. I have a Mankato machine that has been sitting for a couple of years with monthly security updates.
