I'm impressed, rho. There is hope for you yet :)

Distro changes on just about a bi-weekly basis, but at this time:
T410 (x64) - BORK!/swm, Win7, Hot Dog/2bwm
Acer Aspire One (x86) - antiX/TDE
R.I.P. Dell Latitude D600 (x86) - Spring 2014/wmii, Arch/dwm stolen while sitting outside an immortalized Starbucks in Houston, TX in July September 2014 and switched out by the shameless crook for an old High School Biology textbook. That was the most expensive "Grande Dark Roast with Room" that I had ever ordered -_-
Edit: We were in Houston in September, not July. It was hot, but not that hot, thank goodness :)

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
^ My thoughts exactly! :D The best(worst?) part of it all was I had just reinstalled Spring, tossed on Iceweasel and a couple of other staples, and had it automatically log into wmii when it booted up. Good thing that I didn't have most of my personal files on it and Arch was encrypted so good luck playing with that. Bad thing was that I had it setup with mpv playing this video in the xinitrc. I pray that the devious dude died of laughter, seeing my Clint Eastwood wall and a nyash myash montage.

Arch with multiple Wms. Switching back and forth between dwm and nullwm

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
With /, swap, and /home on separate partitions, distro-hopping each day is a cinch.
Currently running Mint/KDE, but itching to hop to some bbq (again) since #! is in flux and solydXK has moved to "stable", just to shake things up again.

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
@hinto I have played with keeping the same /home, but I personally enjoy a fresh start every new install and rsync from my other partitions just exactly what I need/use on a daily basis. (e.g. Music/ and Pictures/reaction_gifs) Having the same ~/ does make distrohopping a heck of a lot easier, though. I go back and forth on whether I want a uniform /home :)
If you feel comfortable with some KDE bloat, you should look at Sabayon's KDE spin. One of my favorites, introduced to me in a Dasgregor review. It is to Gentoo what Manjaro is to Arch and Salix is to Slackware :D

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
All GUI's are bloat ;)
Anecdotally, KDE Mint runs faster than Mate or Cinnamon versions.
As far as the same home...
When I boot the liveCD/DVD/iso, I just rename /home/hinto to /homt/hinto.bak and install normally.
When done, I just copy back things I know I want. (Documents, Video, Music, Downloads, .purple, .thunderbird, .mozilla, .jedit)
I did check out Sabayon a year or so ago.. I'll try it out again.

^ Gotcha! Thanks for that, I will actually try that when I do my next distro-hop ;D

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
I just keep a /data with git repos, walls, colors, music, etc. Then I'll add an fstab entry and create symlinks as needed.

Distro hopping with a /home?
Really, isn't that a bit like taking a shower after a days hard work/run, then putting your stinky clothes back on.
Actually it's like the inverse, putting a nice suit on whilst not being nice and fresh and wondering why it's uncomfortable.
(source - being a skanky bastard sometimes, and having /home confuse the fuck out me with different dotfiles.)
Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
The dot files are all in the new /home/hinto, so you get all the new distro's look and feel and defaults.
You are in control of moving only the files you want to keep from /home/hinto.bak to /home/hinto.
No different than a backup.

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
Spring on main machine with hlwm at the moment.
Laptop / movie machine is on testing, since squeeze, with some xbmc on it.
Raspberry with Rasbian.
I guess you can see which distro I prefer as base.
Though lately I've developed a taste for Slackware, or Salix. But as far as I can see, Conkeror is going to be a pain in the nether region...

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
Arch and i3 on Earl (yep, that's the name of my laptop), and some Debian and i3 on my old desktop, but I haven't booted that in quite a while. Thinking of turning it into some kind of home backup server for pictures and docs.
@bones: How much of a pain is it to set up Slack multilib? I've wanted to do it a few times (I've only done 32-bit installs so far), but I've been told a few times that it's a not worth it.
