I like to spread out my distros so that I always come out on top. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and centos. Some in real systems while others within VMs.

Maybe I should do this but I get frustrated since I feel like a beginner again in other distros. Have to web search for even basic things and also I don't have that feeling that I know what's going to happen when I change something, as I do in arch.

But sure, it's really good to know all the major linux distros, if you can remember all the differences in your head and not get confused.

I run EndeavourOS. It's like arch for noobs haha.
I didn't really have to learn anything to use it, it just kind of works.
I do feel it's somewhat pointless though since I didn't have to learn anything, and I wouldn't be able to fix it if it broke.

Its ok you know. :) I use arch for work and if I would manage to break it all the time, i would switch to something that gives me stability. We need to be productive on our computers and specially when they are used for work :)

Absolutely true! The problem is choice paralysis. I don't know what to choose.

Do you do the same with your DE? lol

OK you got me there. Lol. I use gnome or derivation of it across all my systems. Ive used others before but in recent years it's been gnome.
