Like I hear a lot of people trying a lot of different distros till they find the one they stick with.

Is there a point in Distro hopping ? Like assuming im mostly content with my Mint. Have been using it for about 10 days now.

Ofc Im curious about Desktop enviroments for example. Cinnamon is nice if a bit basic. But beyond that am I missing out on some cool stuff :3

Sorry if this a babys first Linux question.

I'm considering distro hopping off PopOS for a while at least, because it's in kind of a weird place right now. The previous version isn't getting the latest MESA updates, and the new version, while real neat and all, isn't 100% ready to go by my standards. I've had some game crashes and weird behavior, and Chinese input doesn't seem to work right yet.
