Sorry to destroy your dreams, but that's not true.
Unless you are prepared to port all software you use
to the new OS (resp base system) you are running
(which is ever changing because it's OSS).

Eg. just try to compile some software that wasn't touched
since 2000 or so. You'll have a hard time, believe me.
