Operating systems are supposed to help us do our job, run our programs and utilize our hardware. We are not supposed to use them for the sake of them. So learn an application to accomplish something, for example Blender runs fantastically on Linux, do CAD, or something else, leave the OS alone as long as it is working
I've always maintained the same myself. An OS is a means to an end.....a 'base' on top of which you can do a million and one other useful, interesting, productive things.......NOT an end in itself.
Me, I quit distro-hopping many years ago. I found the "one for me" a long while back. I'd rather polish up the OS I do use, and make it as suitable for my own work-flow as I possibly can, than endlessly install/uninstall/re-install over and over again, ad infinitum. In a way, I feel sorry for those that endlessly distro-hop, never settling, never getting to know a system properly. And at the end of the day, there's only so much 'tweaking' and 'fettling' you can do in any case.......beyond this point, there's just no sense in it any more.
The best OSs maintain a low profile and keep out of your way.....unlike a certain well-known OS from a company based in Redmond, which insists on putting itself front & centre ALL THE TIME. As though it's afraid you'll forget about it......(
fat chance!)

As for boredom, switch the damn thing off and get out there in the real world. There's always summat interesting going on in your neighbourhood, lots of people to get to know, things to do, places to go & visit. Take up photography.....ride a bike.....join a club.....etc, etc. Nobody has
any excuse for being bored these days....
