I’m on Linux for a couple of years and I love it. Distrohoping never interested me though, I’m content with my flavour. But I need to reinstall my OS soon and it gives me headaches. So many settings I changed, applications I installed, configured and forgot about.
Now I read about all you guys constantly distrohopping for fun, how do you even do this? Do you start from scratch, explore everything and leave after months of putting in all the work of making an OS your own!? Or do you just casually check it out a couple of days? What do you do with all your music, pictures, addons, portable software?

    I used to just do it from scratch each time but when I went to Debian years ago I didn’t need to distro hop again as it is just a rock solid distro and it just keeps going. If migrating a machine I usually just copy the home dir after ive set up the machine.
