How often do you hop distros? (lemmy.world)

Just curious to see what people are up to. I've been using Nixos for a while. It's fabulous and I have absolutely no reason to switch, but part of me is itching to hop to Debian or maybe OpenSUSE. How about you?

I test distros at work that I wouldn't test at home 😅 And every time I have to reinstall it because of some error, most notabe one was some BTRFS error. Sooo, every 2-3 years or so?

You should have a look at Ventoy.

That is indeed what I used to install the distros :) Does it have any other function?

Not that I know any of. Just wanted recommend it to you, if you test different distros. It's so nice to have multiple of them ready on a single USB stick. Just recently used it the first time and it's amazing.
