Some folks change Linux distros like I change my underwear.

Good move I think. :)

I used to switch a lot, and created scripts that install distroboxes with all the stuff needed for various purposes like java programming etc. Now on a fresh install I can get back to having all third party libraries and IDE set up with extensions, git configured etc in a couple of minutes. Debian distroboxes for things where versions don't matter, tumbleweed for latest versions when needed. I looked forward to distrohopping all the time. But now I'm just on debian as the "host" system, no need to switch.
