Why bother with distro hopping when you can desktop hop?Β

    Some reasons

    • Package availability
    • Preconfiguration curiosity
    • Features (e.g. USE flags, different inits, musl, package manager speed, newness vs stability, different core utils, etc)
    • Reliability
    • Education
    • Community

    But yeah... It's a mite silly to be distro-hopping just to try different desktop environments.

    Methinks several still-new users are yet to realise the desktop environment and distro are not tied together, and nearly all distros offer nearly all desktop environments to install, just one command away.

    It gets even more fun when exploring all the window managers, not just the few desktop environments. And... there be ways to ease that exploration even further.
