Reddit API blew up and now I run Linux?

I feel like I've been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

Why stop at Ubuntu if you can try a new distro each month?
- This is the way, quit your real job and focus on nothing but switching distros
  
  Then find sysadmin/devops/sre/younameit job 😅
  
  Newbie here but wouldn't it be
  undefined
  
  chown -f $USER /sys/admin/dev/ops/sre/younameit.job
  ?
  
  fuck I can't believe I've done this
  
  Yeah seems to be the correct path, you just end up learning so much!
  
  sysadmin
  Bossmang, I know that we're paying more for RHEL licences than for the entire IT department, but if we switch to Arch we'll cut down the costs significantly.
  Gets fired immediately
  devops/sre
  ~~FROM: ubuntu:24.04~~
  FROM: debian:12.4
  Such distro, much hopping
  
  I'm in this comment and I don't know how to feel about it.
  
  I am so happy that my parents didn't buy me a better laptop a decade ago, so I was forced to use a shitty thinkpad laptop. After reading online, I figured out that Linux makes it faster...
  What's your story? :)
  
  Has anyone made c/distroHopping yet?
  
  !distrohopping@lemmy.world - no posts yet though.
  
  This is pretty cool. We really have moved over from Reddit, since we already have some of the niche communities. There are plenty of Linux users already, so it shouldn’t take long for people to start posting there.
  
  I just made a post there
  
  I guess there’s that beginner period when that should be allowed. I kind of wished it happened to me again, instead of daily driving boring Arch systems with no incentive to ever change.
  
  Yeah when you're a beginner or when you get back into Linux you have like a grace period to reproduce a productive environment, then you're worried about changing too much in case it all breaks and goes wrong
  
  Wait for Arch to slowly grind away at your sanity. One day you will realise that stability is pretty damn important, and the hopping will start once again.
- Did this for a bit until i learned how to install arch and never looked back
  ~~I use arch btw~~
  
  Wait until you try NixOS.
  
  Nix stops you from hopping because it takes literal months to set everything up for a mortal.
  
  I did try it on a second drive and was to stupid to understand the like config file where you specify your packages
  
  There's a lot to explore after arch. We have Gentoo, NixOS, image-based distros like Silverblue. Swappable immutable core through ublue, leading you to bluefin or bazzite. Your journey is far from over
  
  Nah i think it's pretty over... I have tried gentoo, nixos image based distros and all that. Even lfs. I'm quite comfortable with arch
