By skyforbes My work relies on multiple programming languages and applications, and I face constant deadlines. I do not have the time or flexibility to experiment with different Linux distributions, so I need something user‑friendly and reliable to keep my job since graduate school. Outside of work, I also have significant family obligations that demand much of my time.
I started with Fedora and used it for about 10 years. Recently, I switched to Linux Mint because Fedora had been giving me more issues, and I am very happy with Mint so far. I plan to stay with it for 30 years.
This is why I am puzzled by “distro hoppers.” Who are these users, exactly, and how do some people manage to try more than ten different distributions? I find the whole idea a bit confusing.
