It's 2028, can we all agree distro-hopping and ricing one's system is retarded?
>>
>>108089700
every linux user has a distro hopping and ricing phase that lasts until they realize they need to be productive
>>
>>108089700
Software companies are fucking fucked. The only tasks LLMs can't reliably tackle at the moment are probably massive libraries and OS tier projects. You can install claude code or opencode on any linux distro and use it to fix everything.
>>
>>108089700
I remember my distro hopping era when I discovered linux, now I just use linux mint with the default theme
>>
>>108089700
Distrohopping is pointless, ricing is just a hobby
>>
>>108089700
that's why i use plain fedora KDE.
The only thing i change is the terminal shortcut to super + return

after one year new to linux and being cursed with distro-hopping and ricing, now i would say im done with all this nonsense shit on my desktop and happy sticking to void linux with sway and everything with default config. no status bar, no external package manager beside from distro itself especially for neovim, default adwaita-dark theme, default dejavu fonts, and less config. hence i don't like any fancy things or eye-candy, just plain simple for everything

Childhood is distro-hopping and ricing.
Adulthood is Gentoo-only and ricing.

Nadela pls go

What is the point of distro hopping?
The only reason I can think of for it is some amazing leap in security (Qubes with its VM everything is pretty innovative) or convenience (ie your distro doesnt have an app store)
>>
>>108089700
Windows 10 iot LTSC cured my distrohopping, man it feels good to be back to heterosexual operating system not that troonix users would know they're all fags
>>
I find ricing profoundly retarded, with perhaps the exception of fiddling with your terminal/editor colorscheme/fonts, because you need to optimize for reading comfort.
Distro hopping is OK if you're looking for your forever home, I guess.
>>
>>108089700
2 completely different worlds. Ricing is for tech savy schizos that want perfection. Distrohopping is for incompetent room temp iq shitskins that can't tweak and mod their shit to taste.

Ricing XP myself.

>>108095442
the reasoning, usually, is that there's a distro out there that's gonna feel "just right" for you that will finally make you stop. the problem is that it's not obvious when you find the one and some people will just never stop hopping. normies also don't really realize you can easily install pretty much any DE/WM on any distro
