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?

    A couple years of dependency hell with an RPM based distro in the mid-late 90s. Changed to Debian around 2000 maybe. Spent a year or two distro hopping when Gentoo first came out. Spend maybe a year with Arch. Then went back to Debian because it just works, is solid as hell. It’s been Debian for the last, oh, 15 years or so.
