      But like…yeah, that’s kinda it IMO. None of the distros come out of the box absolutely perfect for me and my use case, but Debian is close enough, well-documented enough, and flexible enough to be configured into a “perfect distro”. I haven’t really had a reason to distro-hop on any of the systems I installed Debian on.

      Only to drop them all in favor of nixos. However you mostly can translate your config into configuration.nix

        That’s my goal. When I tried NixOS 3 years ago I didn’t had time and there was a lack of documentation to make a .nix for missing packages. Community was… something not very welcoming. I will try again during college break.

    There’s no single perfect distro.

    Some are stable, some run light. Some are fully featured. Some are bleeding edge.

    And some are for plotting world domination.

    But there’s only one for saving the world.

    I’m distro hopping because Ubuntu was perfect for me in basically every way, but I don’t want to be locked to a closed distro…

    I haven’t found anything I like yet, and I don’t have the skills (or motivation) to make core Debian feel the same.

    I’ll probably end up back on Ubuntu, at least for my server machine… it just worked the way I wanted it to, and the ui was lovely for me. Plus it’s stable enough that I can just keep it up indefinitely without issue.

      I use Ubuntu too, because it works and has wide compatibility for everything, any software that supports Linux is generally tested on Ubuntu, etc. I use Ubuntu because if I tried anything else I’d end up becoming a distro hopper lol

        You comment gives me vibes of “I don’t do heroin because I know I’d get addicted”. I say this as someone who is currently flirting with distro hopping. I wouldn’t call myself a distro-hopper yet, but I’m certainly en route to that

    I was hopping several distros.

    Ubuntu. Nah not my thing.

    Fedora. Mhh yeah but I have Nvidia isn’t there sth. For me?

    Ah yes Nobara. Nice a distro from the glorious eggroll guy.

    Switched because of stupid reasons… To:

    Debian-trixie. Cool that’s the distro I will stay.

    My system gets somehow into a boot loop after 60 seconds of logging in…

    Ok let’s try Linux Mint. Mhh on my laptop it works better… Nah my hardware doesn’t like Mint.

    Nixos. Holy shit is that difficult to use. I love it! Stable as fuck. Bleeding edge almost. Newer gonna use sth. else. That thing is amazing and a ton of work to do anything.

      NixOS? Ain’t nobody got time for that. I still try to not struggle with weird flickering while gaming using EndeavourOS + Hyprland using Nvidia graphics. It’s a pain. But one day I’ll make it work and it will feel so good.
