“What Makes Somebody A Distrohopper?
“So what exactly makes somebody keep switching around to
different Linux distributions? I don’t think it has anything
to do with a natural tendency toward distropromiscuity. Rather I
think that it has everything to do with a non-stop quest to
investigate new possibilities and find new options in desktop
Linux.“Distrohoppers have a compelling need to monitor the progress of
desktop Linux by installing the latest and greatest distro.
What’s changed? What new features are available? What about
the theme? The icons? Distrohoppers are innately curious and have
an insatiable need to keep up with the development of desktop
Linux.“Distrohoppers are not content to simply read a review, they
want hands on experience with a new version of a distro and
that’s what makes sites like Distrowatch so popular. Every
time there’s a new release of a worthwhile distro, you can
bet that distrohoppers will swarm the site looking for info and
download links.”
