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’ve never really understood distro-hopping. Unless you have a reason to switch, why to do it? Or, why to bother?

If you want to check it out, read/watch a review, or test it on a virtual machine. You don’t really – IMO – have a reason to have it on bare metal.

… and all of that was a really long way to say that I’m very satisfied with my distro.

Yes, if you’ve found your distro, I also don’t see a point in switching, there’s more important stuff than learning how to install and setup your distro everytime you hop. I only hopped, when I wanted to have a clean install because my previous was kinda broken (dirty state over time), and/or wanted to have more control, or try a different desktop-environment. I have now found a distro (NixOS) where I can have all of that at the same time (so no point in hopping anymore for me too).
