It has been some time since the last time I posted an article. Due to life events, I was unable to write and as I come back to make another article I was greeted with a few comments. Thank you for that to those that read it. I hope it helped.

I’m what’s considered a Distro-Hopper. Distro-Hoppers are people that don’t stick to one distro but “hop” between them. A “distro hopper” is someone who frequently switches between different Linux distributions, trying out new ones and switching to them if they find them more appealing or useful than their current one. Distro hopping can be a fun way to explore the variety of Linux distributions available, but it can also be time-consuming, as installing them takes time, and depending on the age of the machine it may take a long time.

One of the main advantages of distro hopping is the opportunity to explore and learn about different Linux distributions. Each distro has its own unique features, design, and philosophy, which can provide new insights into the Linux ecosystem. Additionally, distro hopping allows users to find a distro that suits their specific needs and preferences, whether that be for work, gaming, or general use.

But I’m getting ahead of myself, let’s start with some basics just in case the person who reads this happens to be new to the Linux scene. So let’s start out by explaining a few things first.
