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?

    @unix_joe: I’ve been using SUSE with KDE since SuSE Linux Personal 7.0. So, 20+ years?

      Are you a tumbleweed user now? I used tumbleweed off and on for a few months for KDE.

      What do you think of their pivot towards Gnome on Aeon/MicroOS/whatever the replacement for Leap is going to be?

        @unix_joe: I am a Tumbleweed user, yes. I didn’t know that they were looking to replace Leap, but I’ve never got on tremendously well with GNOME, so I’d either stick with KDE or go, grumbling, towards XFCE instead.
