Hello! Let me introduce myself.

He/Him | I do tech things for fun. Check me out on macOSicons for icons, Medium for ramblings and FimFiction for pony stuff. Proud Brony. 🐴

Distrohopping

So yeah, I was a distrohopper. Here are the distros I have used in chronological order:

  • Ubuntu
  • Windows 8/10 (Let's say that I didn't know how to install nVidia drivers on Ubuntu)
  • Ubuntu (again)
  • Kubuntu (I used to love KDE)
  • KDE Neon (I realised that there were newer versions of KDE plasma available)
  • OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
  • Manjaro
  • Arch (I had to reinstall > 6 times)
  • Fedora Silverblue (I got in love with immutablity)
  • Arch (I did not know it was possible to layer packages on rpm-ostree based systems)
  • Parabola (This was when I hated "blobs")
  • Guix—with no desktop
  • Debian Sid (Broke once or twice)
  • Pop!_OS: When I came to my senses and quit using rolling-release distros
  • Ubuntu (Again, second time)
  • Vanilla OS (Really, Really good)
  • Blend OS (Less than 24 hours)
  • Fedora Silverblue (Yes, again!)
  • Elementary OS
  • Vanilla OS (Yet again)
  • NixOS
  • Windows 11
  • macOS (hackintosh)

My tip? Don't bother distrohopping. Choose a stable OS with Anti-Idiot Measures™️ (e.g. immutability, ability to reinstall without touching user data, a recovery partition, etc.) of your choice on your primary computer, and screw up a secondary computer or a container with nuclear fallout whatever you want.

Programming Languages

  • Bash
  • A bit of Python
  • A bit of C
  • Some Scratch.
  • Bit of Haskell
  • Half an hour of lisp
