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.

The Atomics are really the only distros that are significantly different from any other, and even then they aren't that different until you start interacting with the "immutable" root.

Really nice to have a rolling backup every time you do something that could bork your install though. Would recommend for people who want to play around with bleeding edge packages while also being safe.
