Like I hear a lot of people trying a lot of different distros till they find the one they stick with.
Is there a point in Distro hopping ? Like assuming im mostly content with my Mint. Have been using it for about 10 days now.
Ofc Im curious about Desktop enviroments for example. Cinnamon is nice if a bit basic. But beyond that am I missing out on some cool stuff :3
Sorry if this a babys first Linux question.
I change distro because I get bored and it also gives me a chance to clean up loose files
You can change desktop environment whenever you like because it isn’t linked to the actual os (I like kde plasma)
Mint is my personal favorite tbh and I swapped back to it like 30 minutes before my pc decided to shit itself and stop working (not a common issue with mint no idea what caused it but it seems to be bios)
If you like mint stick to it unless you dont want to just make sure to back up all your files before you do and leave the files on the drive you backed up to for a couple of boot cycles no matter what
The Atomics are really the only distros that are significantly different from any other, and even then they aren’t that different until you start interacting with the “immutable” root.
Really nice to have a rolling backup every time you do something that could bork your install though. Would recommend for people who want to play around with bleeding edge packages while also being safe.
