Serious Discussion Distro Hopping Thread

[TuxTalk]

Who likes and caught him or herself Linux Distro Hopping ?

I started with :

Ubuntu
Fedora
Manjaro
Fedora
Ubuntu
MXLinux
EndeavourOS
Manjaro

and Now OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

So far openSUSE is rocksolid and they are the only one who did the rolling release the right way for me.

Great to see your journey through different distros! openSUSE Tumbleweed indeed offers a reliable rolling release. Enjoy exploring it further!

I am looking at giving Linux a go. I have recently put Mint, Ubunto, Kubuntu, Zorin on a Ventoy USB and booted sucessfully.
Ventoy says something in it documtation about maintining persistance which I have not yet tried. Would this allow me to have multiple distros on my USB that would allow each disto to update their drivers and packages between reboots?

Ubuntu-Debian-Popos-Fedora-Garuda-Arch-Mint-Tumbleweed-Fedora.
Now settled with fedora for the past two years. I feel Fedora is almost error free with its update packages. It just works, almost error free and stable enough for me.

Otherway around for me, Fedora to Tumbleweed, Like Fedora a lot but always something happening.

I started distro hopping a long time ago:
Red Hat
Suse Linux (now OpenSUSE)
Mandrake (went bankrupt in 2015)
MEPIS (now MX Linux)
Debian
Ubuntu (and all its flavours)
Linux Mint

Later on, I tried the newer ones:
Fedora
Zorin
Lite
LXLE
Peppermint
deepin
elementary
MX Linux
Manjaro

I went back to MS Windows and MS Office because my kids needed that for their education, and I needed it for work.

I just installed Debian 12.7 with Gnome in VMware, so add it to my list above. I used the graphical installer and it was good & smooth almost a relaxing experience. For some unknown reason I thought the Debian was going to be a nasty experience, so a good start to the day. Slowly adjusting to Gnome as I've been using xfce4 recently, although I had run Gnome in CentOS a long time ago. slowly coming back to me.
