That’s funny because seeing that meme, I thought how interesting it was that the “hardcoreness” of a Linux user went from being measured by the length of the greybeard to the height of the programming socks.
Although, I guess back then, the distros mentioned would probably have been revolving around Gentoo, void, slackware, and Linux from scratch. So I suppose greybeards don’t necessarily need the high socks.
I mean, if your beliefs in the unix philosophy are still strong enough to do away with the convenience that is (or can be…) systemd, you deserve some respect.
I am happy with my system and won’t distrohop again, I am happy with my system and won’t distrohop again, I am happy with my system and won’t distrohop again…
Distro surfing on the side (e.g. with virtual machines, or pendrives, or multiboots, or spare machines), rather than distrohopping for the main daily driver, kept me sane as I surfed (probably) over 1000 distros between 2003 and 2012. Really only had 3 long lasting daily drivers in that time [on my main rig], from suse, to sabayon, to gentoo [and crunchbang and others on the thinkpad].
All my rabid distro surfing (~ not distrohopping, honest! lol) stopped, when I found the cheatcode…
Here comes a number of hours procrastinating tinkering with my system to make me more productive on one of the numerous side projects that I will, for sure, finish now.
You do not want to see an old-school greybeard dressing like this.
You might think you do when you first imagine the concept, but no, you really don’t.

Damn shame if you ask me.
Upvoted, for being the only one to mention
so far.

… Just in case that mantra fails.
… Damn you.
