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?
My main PC has been running Arch without interruptions for about 12 years. I’ve run Debian on my server for around 15 years now.
It just works. Why change?
I loved using Arch back in the day. I was there before the logo contest but dropped it during the systemd transition. It wasn’t the most stable then and I had an actual job… I just needed to get work done so I switched to mint because I thought (rightly) it would be brain dead simple and I could just focus on important things. I’ve been on it ever since.
