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?
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.
I’ve hopped around a lot when I first got into Linux (mostly to check out different desktops, see what the fuss is about rolling releases, and trying to get a little more performance). Haven’t done any of that for about 5 years, I’m actually planning on moving from Ubuntu to Debian because of Canonical’s corporate bullshit, but there’s just too much annoying work to do to recreate my setup on a new install.

Smart thinking!
