It can’t be generalized into a single reason but distro hoppers have been around for as long as there has been more than one distro.
For some, it’s that the grass always seems greener. For others, they follow a flavor that touts something that they resonate with(no non-free elements, media -centric, gaming, a certain desktop) . For a lot, it’s exciting to see new stuff and it’s free to try.
In the 90s and early 00s, I had a habit of moving a lot but for the last two decades, I’ve hated moving and my desktop looks the same. I just want it to work and I’m ok with not rolling a new distro every time one pops up.
Mint will treat you well(I run it on mine). It’s very friendly to those new to Linux and the community is active and helpful.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is President Trump a real life version of Frank Fontaine from BioShock?English
17·10 days agoMaybe the Temu version of Frank Fontaine. Frank could speak English, was capable of completing a thought without getting distracted and didn’t look like Jabba the Hutt wearing a compression girdle.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Mozilla Names New CEO, Firefox To Evolve Into A "Modern AI Browser"English
10·11 days agoI moved over to Librewolf last night (except on android) due to this issue. I’m not even anti-AI, I just don’t care for the current mentality to put it into everything and using it as the entirety of your marketing schtick. I don’t need an AI web browser. I need a web browser that can navigate something like chatgpt’s web interface if I want it to.
Librewolf has stated their intention to strip all ai elements from their fork of Firefox and that keeps me off of a chromium browser so I chalk this up as my personal best-case scenario.

Buy European@feddit.uk•The Fight for Android's Open Ecosystem (F-Droid Interview)English
17·19 days agoMore interest is a very far cry from “linux phones are booming”. Linux phones are not booming, they are niche projects for people that like to tinker and don’t need any of the most popular phone apps and features.
Until we can install linux on more than a couple phones, trust cellular connections across all the networks and have access to the majority of features and apps that a smart phone should possess, linux phones will never “boom”.
I say this as a Ubuntu touch user on the Fairphone 4. It is not an experience that anyone else I know would accept from their smartphone.

271·19 days agoI hope they choose to focus efforts on linux instead of trying to keep Google from fully obliterating their ability to offer apps on the Android platform.
Even if they are thrown a bone during this fight, it’s going to keep happening until they lose. The reason linux is so bad to try to use as a smartphone right now is because entities like these are busy trying to piss up a rope with Google and Android. We could have actually had robust and feature rich linux phones if they had taken the hint when Google first started shitting on people trying to use their Android phone in the way they want to.

Booming, eh?

If you’re having problems finding the linux line on the graph, it’s one of those at the 0%.

I’ve not noticed bugs on the dev branch but look forward to improvements (I’d love for the default U’s home page to remember my place when retreating back to it from an article).
Thanks!






I use Librewolf everywhere but android where I use Firefox. The sync feature works perfectly between the different brands. Librewolf does not currently offer a mobile browser.
