I’ve been dailying the same Mint install since I gave up on Windows a few years ago. When I was choosing a distro, a lot of people were saying that I should start with Mint and “move on to something else” once I got comfortable with the OS.

I’m comfortable now, but I don’t really see any reason to move on. What would the benefits be of jumping to something else? Mint has great documentation and an active community that has answers to any questions I’ve ever had, and I’m reluctant to ditch that. On the other hand, when I scroll through forums, Distro Hopping seems to be such a big part of the “Linux experience.”

What am I missing?

    I’ve reinstalled Windows so many times over the years I could get everything I needed setup in under an hour max.

    I’m still pretty new to Linux so starting again from scratch kinda scares me, Tho I’ll probably move from Endeavour to vanilla Arch sometime soon since my install has gotten pretty messy lately.

    There’s other distros I’ve been curious about and messed around with in virtual machines but putting it on my main PC to daily drive is another thing.
