LoL my current Gentoo system was installed like 12 years ago and moved on 5 different hardware platforms without a proper reinstall.
I have said myself to never peek in the /etc directory for any reason! 😅
For me it’s installing a new OS every six months for a fun new experience.
I thought the point of Linux was not doing this every year like with Windows?
Realistically you don’t have to if you’re not constantly tinkering, but if you’re changing a lot of low-level stuff without knowing what you’re doing, you have the ability to break things. If you don’t know how to fix them, then it’s easier to just reformat. Basically it’s a skill issue lol.
I thought we ditched Windows because we were tired of doing that?
I didn’t, I just liked Linux more. It allows us to play around more, but also fuck up more…
Then there’s me, reinstalling the OS because it’s quicker than installing the three months’ worth of updates I forgot about.
I actually do that. It forces me to backup the most necessary things and throw away the rest, hence making the OS feel cleaner.
reinstalling the os because im to lazy to clean the drives
NixOS is great, you can even have it automatically reinstall and wipe your garbage with Impermanence lol
Nixos is amazing just saying
So am I the only one distro hopping for fun?
Yes and everyone is talking about it
