I'm still not sure what I want to use on my PC but Mint is a strong consideration. I've heard Manjaro is great despite the developers being lazy on some stuff outside of the distro.

In general, I hope I can settle on a distro for my main PC by next year; I can't afford to be down and out for a week every time I distro hop haha

Agreed!

I have about 7 "garbage" laptops in my cryptocave that were donated to me. This makes distro hopping fun, easy and stress-free.

Learn multiple distros at the same time without touching your main machine.

Other than that, you can always make great use of VIRTUALBOX!

I've been using VMs and Ventoy to test distros but it hasn't helped because there are many distros that I really like, and none of them fit 100% to my use case haha

I felt the same way until this experience with Arch.

Arch lets you build the system that fits 100% for your use case without anything else!

I never understood this until now.

I definitely get the appeal but I don't think it's for me at this point in time haha. I'm still reasonably new to Linux, my main PC still uses Windows, so building an Arch system is probably not the best idea for me at this point in time 😅
