How do i stop myself from distro hopping? I can't go 1 week

get a mac

>>61818778
Bullet in the head

self-control

>>61818778
Go to freebsd

Do something productive so that you don't have time do distro hop.

the good thing about distro hopping is you can shop around till you find one you like and stick with it. i hopped around for a while and kept coming back to the same one so i stuck with it.

Get a job

Step 1: Install Windows
Step 2: Find and then start a job
Step 3: In your spare time go out, exercise, socialise or stay in and play games if the weather is bad.

I did this after using only GNU/Linux for 8 years and my life has never been better.

>>61818778
Dont worry, its a phase most linux users went throu at some point. Eventually you'll get tired and just install Ubuntu or Debian

not true.
Eventually I got tired and just installed openSUSE

>>61819238
Sounds terribly boring

Test everything untilnyou fund something good.
Test void and join the master race.

Beats being stuck in fron of a computer 16 hours a day "playing with Linux" that crippled my social life and general mental health. Also if anything I'm hardly ever bored now.

Just use Ubuntu. It works and you can actually get shit done.

That's said - 'get a job' can be a good thing if you do something meaningful (not selling some useless shit or developing a 2d platformer).
>Step 3
This one is actually not bad. I would change 'play games' to 'tinker with GNU/Linux' but otherwise it's okay. You're right - It's important to stay healthy and spend time with people that you like.

>>61819238
some of us already have self control and can balance owning a linux machine and not becoming obsessed with it. but whatever you need to blame it on to make you feel better buddy

>>61818778
debian or foss arch are the only right answers

>>61818837
OpenBSD you mean

>>61818778
Hey op, What distro are you running now man?
What don't you like about it?

Install Debian stable.

>>61818778
choose 1 and stick with it.

>>61819238
>Windows makes you successful with friends and bitches alike

Heh, an Operating System is just a tool not a life enhancer...

>>61820671
And if you are using it as a desktop OS then go upgrade to testing repos.

>>61820743
Only if you like getting security updates days or weeks after everyone else.

>>61820743
The only good thing about Debian is it's ""stable"" and now you advise against this. w t f

>opensores is so shit you have to keep trying different versions of the same shit

wew

>>61820842
unstable is testing, testing is stable, stable is old

Find some better shit to do with your life than finding petty "problems" with computer operating systems.

>>61818778
You will stop once you figure out whatever it is you are trying to figure out by distro hopping.

>>61819524
i remember many moons ago getting a 10 disc suse install from ebay, must have been around 15 years ago or so

>>61818778
install a distro
start actually doing shit on it
like programming, android development, hacking DNC servers, Hillary's emails and shit

there, no more distro hopping

>>61819524
not true.

Eventually I got tired and just installed Manjaro OpenRC.

>>61820842

stable on desktops is cancerous shit if you need to do anything remotely useful and don't have a way of getting more recent packages -- debian devs discourage mixing stable/testing/unstable

>>61820985

best advice right here, the fresh install experience on most distros is basically the same so once you start installing packages and editing system config (if required) and doing all the usual stuff that modifies the system outside of /home distro hopping becomes far less appealing

>>61821047
Just one more reason to stay away from .Deb

>>61821047
>don't have a way of getting more recent packages
isn't Debian-stable users use some kinda of backports repo?

>>61820910
stop advising people to install testing. It's shit that gets security updates later than stable and unstable. stable is the correct way to use Debian, unless you can live with unstable breaking. If you think having stable packages i.e. your system not having regressions after updates is a bad thing, maybe some other distro is better suited for you.

Install gentoo

>>61818778
install source mage

why the fuck isnt the one distro I use on there? Im only on it cos its the most popular distro in the job market - CentOS

>>61822655
The one that's a command line, meant for servers, based on red hat/fedora and all that?

>>61818778
Arch linux.
Gentoo if your pc compiles fast.
Meanwhile there's KDE neon, fedora, opensuse.
If you want simplicity try KaOS

>>61818778
Use OpenSUSE or Centos

>>61818778
Why do you want to stop?
Installing GNU+Linux is fun.
