I've never considered myself much of a distribution-hopper. Traditionally I would stick with a single distribution for many years until it either folded (Caldera, Mandriva) or made a major decision that drove me away (Mint dropping KDE, Ubuntu inventing snaps). I have almost never gone TO a distribution that was unique in having something that I (think that) I want. I'm on Fedora now because it's safe and stable while being more current in its software than Ubuntu (and by extension Ubuntu-based distros).
I value you as a pioneer: I like to hear your adventures without having to suffer them myself. Keep reporting! I've mostly stuck to Fedora and its ancestors for 30 years. I've tried a few others on secondary computers but haven't found anything that draws me in. If I were truly adventurous, I'd move to Plan 9, but the missing applications (browser!) make that too much of a regression. One great thing about Linux is that if a distro goes bad in some way, there are always a bunch of reasonable replacements.
