Like I hear a lot of people trying a lot of different distros till they find the one they stick with.

Is there a point in Distro hopping ? Like assuming im mostly content with my Mint. Have been using it for about 10 days now.

Ofc Im curious about Desktop enviroments for example. Cinnamon is nice if a bit basic. But beyond that am I missing out on some cool stuff :3

Sorry if this a babys first Linux question.

Distrohopping is useful in that it's a great way to work out that you should just have stuck with Debian with KDE installed on top of it in the first place.

It’s also useful way to start from scratch after you mess up the OS by uninstalling core dependencies by mistake. It’s for tinkerers and those who have the time and energy to try different OS configurations.
