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?

    Started with Ubuntu for just a year on desktop and Debian on server for nearly 10 years. Desktop switched in this time from arch to Debian, back to arch, and finally to Fedora. This will never change. Debian - server, Fedora - desktop.

    I tested some others in VM: elementary, SuSe, Archcraft, kubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu, PopOS, manjaro. None of these passed my expectations for a bare metal install.

    On phone: mobian, manjaro, postmarket and the winner danctnix-arch. But I want to give postmarket a second chance.
