From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is an aberration. You must choose one and never deviate.
Seriously though I think it's pretty normal. When I install Linux i usually pick whatever distro at the time and end up using a couple of different ones. I have arch on my desktop and Pop OS on my laptop at the moment.
When you've hopped between all the major branches of linux you kinda realise they're all the same thing with different package managers anyway
That said you can pry NixOS out of my cold dead hands
Yeah, my desktop runs arch one laptop runs Ubuntu server and I have a surface 4 running Nobara (a flavour of fesora)
*btw
