I think the problem with distro hopping is that you are not really solving a problem. For example, you are going to try out distros until you find one where you Nvidia card or wifi works, or the one with your preferred desktop environment, the one with this or that tool etc... But in most cases, these are things you can change, Linux is open, distros are essentially just the set of defaults the maintainers like. There are some oddballs, like Gentoo, but most are just variation on the same base. In fact, a minimal Ubuntu and a minimal Debian are almost identical. If you are constantly distro-hopping you probably have some specific needs than no distro fulfills, and your time is probably better spent picking one (preferably of the minimal kind) and actually solving your specific problems than trying to find a perfect match when there is none. I use Debian (minimal) BTW.
