Discussion on: How often do you switch your distro?

At the beginning I used to switch distros maybe every month. Then, when I finally started coding more often I stayed with Ubuntu with a LTS version and focus on coding. I choose Ubuntu (with gnome 3 obviously) because is the most (well???) documented distro.

Now I used pop_os, a Ubuntu flavoured distro form system76 company. This is because it has a more updated nvidia driver for my PC and a more gnome3 look and feel than bare bones Ubuntu.

Also I still using most recent LTS version as my servers or docker images use.

Interesting, never gave pop_os a chance until now, thanks for sharing.

Having recent drivers can be a huge advantage for a distro. I also liked the gnome environment back when I was using Ubuntu :)

Was your decision to use a LTS version based on your requirements for stable releases and long support or just went with LTS first and left it that way?
