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?

    Did a lot of distrohoppig in the early days, started with Red hat, Mandrake, Stampede, and Debian. But stuck with Debian from 1999 I would say, until Ubuntu came along and did the switch about 2005. Then stayed with Ubuntu until Unity came, switched to Fedora 2011 and have not found a reason to switch after that.
