Distrohopping defined as constantly changing Linux distributions on your computers. I was that person couple years ago, mad addicted to switching Linux distros on a whim. I pretty much installed them all, from Gentoo to Archlinux to Ubuntu, Debian, Sabayon, Fedora and many more. I couldn't get enough of Linux. I still do but times have changed. I can't afford to keep switching when there's work to be done.
Configuring my Linux boxes takes lots of time. I tweak them to my exact specifications. When am done I can chill and play and work with the confidence that my machines are 100% copacetic. Honestly I don't need the drama of starting fresh with a new Linux install. Pretty much a waste of my time now. In the beginning it was fun. Now not so much. I write lots of scripts that I automate using cron jobs. I run 24/7 machines. They are my money beasts.
Linux is my default OS. I use it to run my life. The choices are incredible. Whatever you want to do with computers Linux can get it done. In the past that was much harder to achieve but Linux has grown up. As a newbie I highly recommend that you distrohop. Get your feet wet. Learn about different file systems, package managers and productivity tools in the different distributions. I had a blast running many distros. Now I can chill and use Linux in my profession for the important aspects of my life.
