This is kind of the anti-distro hopping thread. How long have you stayed on a single Linux distribution for your main PC? What about servers?

I’ve been on Debian on and off since 2021, but finally committed to the platform since April of this year.

Before that I was on OpenBSD from 2011 - 2021 for my desktop.

Prior to that, FreeBSD for many years, followed by a few years of distro-hopping various Linux distros (Slackware, Arch, Fedora, simplyMEPIS, and ZenWalk from memory).

How long have you been on your distribution? Do we have anybody here who has been on their current distro for more than a decade?

    Built my first pc in 2020 in windows 10, tried ubuntu for a couple of months but stopped cuz it was unstable and was hurting my productivity.

    Switched back to windows 10 through 2021. I did tried ubuntu again for a little bit, but it was just not working out for me. And then earlier in 2022, I tried linux mint and outside of needing to follow an extra step to properly boot with my Nvidia gpu, everything worked out of the box for me and I had a superior experience compare to windows. More stable and I also strongly prefer the UI.

    I still love linux mint but I am thinking about trying fedora for the KDE experience. No issues in mint, but my time in linux makes me curious and want to see what else I been missing.
