What the royal shitballs are you on about?! Grinding creates sparks from friction, have you never used a damn anglegrinder?

I did something very similar, spent about a year on fedora … 33? then discovered “my preferred distro” and never looked back.

Thing is that everyone finds their place with a distro and settles for as long as it suits their needs. Then, you might move on, you might not. Its just an OS, a means to an end. Use what you need, then use something else, no need to go to the doctor for hopping headaches :)
