I’m always curious about what you all do with your OS 😅 I mean sure why not but for me it was (after 6 months before going for it) like a weekend check out and then my pc became an 'ol Linux box (boxes, laptops etc followed) and it just chugs on?
Yes! What is the appeal? Why switch all the time? I just install the OS, tweak everything to work, then let it be. I clearly am not enough of a nerd. My whole Linux adventure started with distros, that were said to be easy for beginners… and I did not move past that, because stuff works?
To be fair, some of these responses are clearly going back 20+ years and only have 8 total “hops”. In that time a typical windows user would have gone through 7-10 different versions of windows depending on how lucky they got with stuff like ME and 8…
That seems like a very plausible explanation! I tried mint 16 and didn’t do the jump because it was not up to it just yet. Being a linux nerd 10-20 years ago and the differences were probably huge between distros, and they changed all the time too.

Smart thinking!
