Nothing like that "new distro" feel

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.

was?
Yeah until the next distro hop two weeks later
Ouch. Too relatable. Far too relatable. At first, it was Arch, until I found out about NixOS. Then, it was NixOS until I was having issues related to the immutability aspect of it. Then, I was going back and forth between them, neither being perfect. Later, I found Tumbleweed but that wasn't even close to what I needed. It was Fedora, with a bunch of Copr Repos, that I've been on for 2 months now, that made me stop hopping as it really had it all. But I read an article about Void about a week ago, and it's now weighing on my mind. Will the sacrifices involved with running Void, be matched by the advantages of it? I'm honestly not sure.
Hahaha this exactly!! Been jumping all over the place trying to find my favourite distro. Personally love trying new ones and do it probably ever other week. So far though, Tumbleweed is what I feel most comfortable with, however, NixOS is probably gonna get another good go later won when I have enough time to truly learn the ins and outs of it.
Never tried Void though, you've peaked my interest 🙌
