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)

Slackware users won't! At least not so far.
Or, kick it old school with reiserFS
Oh sweet child
Slackware current on btrfs for snapshots. Slackbuilds make the text go weeeeee, but the scripts will compile and build the package for you.
Plasma 6 hasn't come over officially yet, but the main guy who put plasma together has a testing version out.
You could probably get the official proton app running, but I'm good with protonvpn-cli.
It's been led by the same one dude since the early 90s. There's nothing close to corporate about it. And there are great communities on IRC and matrix full of knowledgeable folks. And there's linuxquestions.org too.
Thank you brave pioneers. I just felt confident to switch to btrfs last year.
I'm a long time slackware user, but I joined the party some time in 99 or 00.
I never had the pleasure of installing from floppies, but I did compile my own kernels to speed up boot time. Sometimes they would boot, sometimes they wouldn't. That was part of the fun.
I've been on a retro kick lately. I have a pentium 200 mmx based machine that will eventually run a floppy installed slackware. Or at least it will if I can get it to work.
Streamio and RD are so easy that even my luddite wife can test all the linux distros she wants without my help.
I'm doing trisquel on a sugar toast for my 5 year old and she loves it!
Everything has some sort of top:
Slacktop, craptop, proxtop, oldtop, wifetop, and batocera (because I keep forgetting to ssh in and change it).

I'm pretty sure this is it.
I think my most upvoted reddit comment was on the poop knife post. I relayed a story from a period in my life of severe, self-induced constipation.
But I'm civilized and used a real tool, a poo-driver.
