My last hop was to MX Linux. It's like some angelic person went and took Debian and took every good idea I ever had and made a distro out of it just for me. Thank you kind person for making Debian the way I would spend four hours making it by hand.

TBH every time I feel the itch to try something else, I think about all the small tweaks I've done, that I'd have to redo, and then just keep using Manjaro.

Would be nice to have community specific flairs. I'm on Manjaro. ^Don't^ ^lynch^ ^me^ ^please!^

Loads up 128 gig usb with Ventoy and literally dozens of iso's

just stick with arch or any other build-it-yourself distros.
They make it easy to rip our stuff you don't like and replace it with better things, and when doing a clean reinstall you get more then enough choices that there's absolutely no reason to distrohop anymore.

I'm glad I haven't done that in a long while. But the itch is still there.

Virtualbox in the favorites bar: Why not fire up some new isos today?

Noh, please, I, I really need to get some work done today!

I have thumb drives and I am not afraid to use them!

And enough hard drive space to host the virtual boot drives of ALL THE TEST VMS I COULD EVER WAANT!

distro hopping is so last year, try distro morphing instead. install the package manager of your desired system and screw up the stability of your system, fall into dependency hell, and version conflicts while keeping your files. If you use Arch, like me BTW, you should be able to handle this challenge. Added side effect is neofetch will look very cool with multiple package mangers

Some useful links:

Package managers:

  • apt + dpkg - Old Debian
  • pacman - I use Arch BTW
  • apk - No RAM (or systemd) Alpine
