Distro hopping is often seen as a sort of sickness. Something that you should strive to stop. But why is that? Many Linux experts have done it, and it doesn’t seem to have done any harm. In fact, I happen to believe that distro hopping is something that, while you shouldn’t probably continue to do forever, is deeply beneficial to anyone attempting to learn Linux. So, I will go through some reasons why you, yes you, should consider distro hopping.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
