I do not switch my distro anymore.
I don't see a reason to switch.

In my early days I hopped Kubuntu->Debian->Gentoo->Arch. And nowadays I have settled with openSUSE Tumbleweed.

The reason why I switched was: I wanted newer packages.
The reason why I do not switch: With rolling release distros like Arch or Tumbleweed, I mostly get fresh packages (relatively vanilla).

Tumbleweed runs more stable on my box over the years than Arch - although this is admittedly a nitpick; I had over 5 years of Arch perhaps 2 issues and on the other hand with Tumbleweed 0.

But I am happy so far.
