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?

    Probably ubuntu from 05-16. Switched to arch around then, and been on manjaro since 2020.

        I also switched from Arch to Manjaro. I found myself installing the same set of softwares that overlaps with default Manjaro installation, so I decided it’ll be less work for me to use Manjaro when it was time to rebuild my PC.

        I built a gaming pc and didnt feel like fiddling with the graphics drivers and doing config for hours before being ready to play.

        The main thing i loved about arch was the aur. Getting your hands dirty and making every choice for your setup is cool, but im fine just running stock setup too.
