I am going to reinstall Linux on my laptop and didn't settle on a distro yet. Which distro should I go with?

For context: I have been daily driving Linux since 2017, fiddled around with tiling VMs (especially i3gaps) and even attempted at LFS at some point. My laptop is a Lemur 11 from System76, and this laptop is my primary computing device. I have been running Pop_OS! on this since the day it arrived.

Am I getting old? I just downloaded and imaged a new Linux distro I've read a lot about.

I got as far as booting the live environment before deciding I just don't have the energy to configure a new distro. Why, I thought to myself, go through all that when the distro I'm using is set up exactly as I want it?

Is this a sign of maturity? Weariness? Or have I just got lazy? #Linux #GNU #Distro #DistroHop

Protože mi má přijít novej #notebook, tak jsem si řekl, jestli neni dobrej čas na #distrohop .. #VirtualBox mi tak právě chroupe #openSUSE Tumbleweed Slowroll...

Už jen #installer má netušený možnosti!

I think @blendOS could be it for me. I was on #endeavorOS for so long but #blendOS got me to make the switch and very happy with it so far.

This week in my perpetual drifting, I wound up on PopOS 24.04. It's been a while since I've tried an Ubuntu variant. I forgot how boring they are. It's been two days and I only had like 7 package updates.

Despues dell fiasco de Fedora y la IA (otro mas), voy a cambiar la distro del portátil y no se si tirar a por la estabilidad de Debian o probar Open Suse Tumbleweed…. (Gnome, no KDE)

Algun consejo? supongo que ninguna de las dos es mala opción…

Thought that came to me tonight while using #debian :
Like many #linux users I used to #distrohop a lot. For years. Always chasing the newest features, the latest desktop. When opening up Synaptics tonight, there was only one package to update. Not after a day, but after a week.

It actually feels good running a stable system, not having to update dozens of bleeding edge packages, every day. Love working on #Debian: stable and so much calmer.

@Joshsharp I've only used Google to search accidentally for quite some time now. I #Distrohop *a lot* and that means starting over with Firefox regularly. Sometimes I forget to fix the search settings before I search for something, usually related to some quirk or another of my new OS/DE/Major Version Update.

Then I roll my eyes, delete my cache, delete my history, delete delete delete, then I install the Qwant search engine or change the search to Duck Duck Go.
