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?

    Neat! Thanks for the response, I always find myself curious when I hear that folks are using Linux in non-typical ways.

    As for on-screen keyboards and input, dunno if you’ve heard of PostmarketOS? They’re primarily focused on smartphones, but they’ve done a lot in the area of touchscreen compatibility, and may have some insight as to your on screen keyboard woes. Or perhaps alternatives to whatever you’ve tried using so far? https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Input_methods#Touchscreen
