    I have actually done this a few years back. The trick is to add in the Kubuntu backport repository to get later versions (at least back when I did it).

    I called it Kupobop and changed the OS symbol to a tiny moogle from Final Fantasy.

    Then my Arch friend annoyed me into trying Arch, so naturally I now use Fedora.

        openSUSE is still on my distro bucket list. When I’m ready to hop I usually just start pushing my luck messing with things until my current setup fails. Then I pretend to be upset and inconvenienced while secretly excited to try something new.

          Yeah, the problem with NixOS is when you mess something up you can always restore to an older working version

            Can relate, NixOS is still running great on my laptop. The day I’m ready to stop hopping is the day I export all of my nixfiles and home manager configurations to my main machine.

          I can’t do Suse because I used SLES9 for work in 2005 or so, and it made me never want to see that little chameleon again.
