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.

Lots of reasons you might try out other distros:

Boredom / curiosity
Your current distro has a problem or doesn't fit your needs (this is usually why I have distro hopped)
You want to learn something that a distro focuses on. Atomic updates, reproducible builds, compiling software, etc.

But you can also just sit and be happy with what you've got!
