I’m a break hopper. If I like a distro. I’ll use it. Months and sometimes years. Then, if there’s some kind of breakage and I can’t figure it out and I decide to do a fresh install, I’m like “why not try something new”

Love this song, "Play me online. Well, you know that I'll beat you. If I ever meet you I'll control-alt-delete you" is gold.

I feel the line "While your computer's crashing, mine's multitasking. It does all my work without me even asking'" is very relevant today.

They say its all about distro hoppin baby
There so many options it is gettin crazy
I’m ferrin and carryin my files from SSD
Gonna need that when I reformat my PC

Its gettin hard in this economy
to find all the right parts at an honest fee
And the only option left that I can see
switching to an OS that will work for me

Ubuntu I adore ya
But this week is Fedora
Linux Mint got me through March
By the way I used Arch

Every day the list grows
an endless number of brand new distros
One thing every homie knows
we all hate on windows

I'm just gonna stick with Fedora cause I'm white and nerdy.

Hit install and never stop
I'll tell you how I distrohop
There's no flavor I'd say no to
'cept that faschy one (you know who)
got a hundred boxes runnin'
and a vendor ain't locked one in
Drop a new one and I'm on it
jumping ships like the bubonic
keeping ancient silicon churning
endless new OS smell burning
I'll be jumping 'til I drop
to the beat of the endless distrohop

I use Debian since the early 2000s. Never had a reason to even think about changing the distro.

It's all about the pentium's baby.

I always end up back at Arch, its the old reliable. Although I do have one system running just Nix these days as well.

Distrohopping is just OS tourism.

You gotta live the ecosystem. Vote in their elections. Contribute to their package managers. Then you can hop if its not for you.

Hey fella, I bet you’re still living in your parents cellar, downloading picture of Sarah Michelle Gellar

And posting “me too” like some braindead AOL-er I should do the world and cap you like Old Yeller

You’re just about as useless as JPEGs to Helen Keller

Weird Al did not need to make these lyrics slap so hard but I’m so glad he did.

Part of me is like "just run a VM" other part of me is like "hardware comparability is a major part of choosing an OS".

Also, just friggin at least run a fedora VM and shove every DE in it until you figure out what you like. Maybe you actually just want to try a different DE.

Certified fresh meme every time lol.

Nixos is where it's at

suggestions for better rhythm:

I distro-hopped every Linux system,
gave some props, the rest I dissed 'em.
You had your OS more than a week?
Pave that shit, man, it's antique!

I've been distro shopping since the late 90s. Think I've finally settled: Bazzite (+distrobox) and CachyOS. 🤞

I believe yours says, "Copilot" on the side.

I hopped mainly among a few. Then it was Debian for a long time. Then hopped again for no particular reason. My Mint kernel panicked once a few weeks ago, so I might hop again.
