The Linux PWA Challenge
“To distro-hop or not to distro-hop, that is the question.” — A sentiment that echoed through my mind as I embarked on a year-long adventure into the heart of the Linux ecosystem. Armed with curiosity and a penchant for exploration, I set sail across the vast sea of distributions, each promising a unique experience.
My journey led me through Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and even Pop!_OS. Each desktop had its own desktops from KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon, Cosmic and its quirks, and of course, its devoted followers. But practicality tugged at my sleeve like an impatient child. The allure of Linux was undeniable—the command-line wizardry, the community camaraderie, the thrill of discovering hidden gems in the software repositories. Yet, as the seasons changed and the moon waxed and waned, I found myself torn. The real reason the workflow of using Linux as a daily driver is not practical lies in something minor, but so important to my daily workflow. It’s not what others are talking about. I think they are just missing the bigger picture.
