Distro-hopping is a valid hobby, but it’s not for everyone. If you aren’t specifically interested in distros and fiddling with packages, hopping around on your “daily driver” can be disruptive. If you just want something that works, there’s nothing wrong with figuring out which distros do what you need and using one of those for work and play. If something catastrophic happens to a distro to make it literally unusable, you can worry about that when it happens. There is usually something else which is almost the same. Few people will get much value from hopping between distros which are basically the same, just because the distros are put out by different companies or install different packages by default.

The post volume is still much lower, but that isn’t all bad, since the toxicity and quality isn’t as bad and unlimited scroll time isn’t healthy.

It sounds like SUSE is announcing that it is happy to eat the cost of providing a free distro that is RHEL-compatible, and to offer paid support to customers who want to use a RHEL-compatible distro, all as an add-on to their core business with SUSE. Can anyone correct my understanding?

If I signed up to a mag on one instance, that doesn’t mean I want to sign up to it on a different instance.

The issue is not whether there is some individual occasion where some individual person posts “conspiracy shit.”

The issue is whether admins act on user reports of blatant anti-semitism.

Why does nobody like Drop?
