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?
As my personal day-tp-day system, It looks like 8 years of Ubuntu. I have a file server that just will not die that’s been running Ubuntu LTS since 2008 though.
Here’s my Distro journey:
1996-1997 - Debian (Still dual booting Windows) 1997-2002 - RedHat Desktop 5.0-7.3 (Linux became my main day-to-day OS!) 2002-2003 - Crux 2003-2008 - Gentoo 2008-2012 - Ubuntu / Ubuntu LTS 2012-2014 - Mint 2014-2022 - Ubuntu / Ubuntu LTS / Xubuntu (I switched back to Ubuntu as my personal OS since I had deployed Ubuntu to over 100 systems at work, and I had a little netbook with Xubuntu) 2022-???? - LMDE 5 (Linux Mint - Debian Edition)Still loving LMDE.
