    Do any of you people actually use your OS, or do you just distro-hop and tweak things all day?

      Distro-hop? Never. But getting something to work is way more satisfying to me than using that thing. (Slackware user since late 90s, recently diagnosed with adhd)

      I do use my OS but I also like to play with it, that’s one beauty of Linux: you can set it up and forget about it till the end of times or you can spend days tinkering with it if it provides you joy.

      We save so much productivity finding better distros that we have 50% more time to distro hop. /s

            Sorry for the confusion. I should probably start using emojis to convey playfulness in nonserious comments.
