    I thought I was finally finished distro hopping after I landed on Fedora, but then I found Nobara and then the whole RHEL drama started so I went back to Debian stable but then NixOS caught my attention.

    It will never end

      i just don’t do distrohopping, it’s a pointless venture imo. started with arch linux as my main desktop, never went back.

      tried some things occasionally, but i already sunk the time learning all sorts of things that may not even exist in other distros, configuring my system and the DE (and other things like zsh and vim setup), so it’s just a waste of time honestly.

      i’m thinking of using NixOS instead of Debian (what i used previously) for my upcoming server project though.

      I hopped for ages and finally landed on Arch (btw), and I thought I was settled. I’ve been on it for like two years now.

      But lately I’ve been hearing the call of NixOS too…

        Yep, tried a couple distros out and ended up on Arch for a year and was happy. Then switched over to NixOS and have been using it ever since, there’s no way I could ever main any other distro.

        The Arch -> NixOS pipeline is real

      I swear, the only reason I haven’t continued distrohopping is that I’m waiting for Pop_OS!'s Cosmic desktop and they are holding out on me
