Security issue

Why wouldn't you regular review your task manager, system settings etc. to confirm your machine has been not comprised ? (Here, few things which you can do to confirm there isn't a breach in your system).
1. Failed logins: /var/log/messages
2. last, w, uptime
3. /etc/passwd changed?
4. fuser for ports
5. portscans in server report
6. weird processing hogging CPU?

Switching between different distro in six month is really a big pain. Isnt't it ?

I jump around a lot. I usually reinstall my OS every five or six months. I do it primarily as a security issue -- if my machine has been compromised and I don't know it, at least every few months I *know* I'm clean. What I've found is that the "pain" of installation varies from release to release, and is not a fedora/debian/arch/suse issue per se. I've had some cases where fedora installed like a dream and debian/mint/ubuntu had problems, some cases where debian installed easy and fedora crumped, and some cases where arch/manjaro was great and everything else had problems.

A few weeks ago, I went to Manjaro, not because I'm an Arch fan, but because I downloaded fedora, kubuntu, and KDE neon and it was the *only* one that installed without a problem. Before that, KDE neon installed without a hitch. Before that Fedora installed without a hitch.

In a few months, I'll do it again, and it will be a different distro that works...

Usually, I start with Fedora KDE spin, then try KDE neon, then try Manjaro, then try SUSE.
