Here’s my distrohopping journey (including non-Linux OS)

• Windows 7 →
• Windows 10 →

Mid 2021, I tried Fedora Linux in a VM and was unable to install it, but I liked it regardless.

So, a while later I decided to try this “Linux” thing on my computer.

• Linux Mint (late 2021) →
• Arco Linux (arch felt too intimidating) →
• Debian (stability = good?) →
• Debian Sid (stability = boring) →
• Artix Linux OpenRC (omg i hate systemd so much!1!!) →
• Void Linux →
• Artix Linux runit (it didn’t work) →
• Arch Linux (how do i use systemctl wtf) →
• Void Linux again (ah, ln -s /etc/sv/something /run/service/)→
• NixOS unstable (since January 2024)

Honestly, I’m just glad I found something I liked, as NixOS is perfect for tinkering.

During all that distrohopping, I “DE-hopped” even more. Currently I run SwayFX, but I’ve used Cinnamon, XFCE, Plasma, GNOME, AwesomeWM, i3, bspwm, dwm, swaywm and Hyprland.

edit 1: add Artix Linux runit

edit 2: remove NixOS stable from the list
