Like I hear a lot of people trying a lot of different distros till they find the one they stick with.
Is there a point in Distro hopping ? Like assuming im mostly content with my Mint. Have been using it for about 10 days now.
Ofc Im curious about Desktop enviroments for example. Cinnamon is nice if a bit basic. But beyond that am I missing out on some cool stuff :3
Sorry if this a babys first Linux question.
Distro hopping is just finding your groove with different package managers and package types. You’ll eventually find one you like. Also some distros just don’t have the absolute latest package versions outside of the testing repos
As far as desktops go, you can pretty much pick one regardless of your distro unless you pick a distro that is purely made for a single desktop environment. Even then you can still use whatever you want you’ll just have to jump through a few more hoops.
There’s also distros who aren’t using Wayland by default. These are still on xorg but also often offer the option to use Wayland.
I’ve been running fedora universal blue on desktops as a really like the immutable rootfs and latest kernel with the added bonus of using btrfs snapshotting so you can roll back to your last good working setup if you break something
