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?

    I agree on pretty much all of this. I love Pop, so psyched for COSMIC DE. I now run it on all my machines (except for Raspberry Pi OS on my RasPis and EndeavourOS on my old PC).

    Package Management on Arch is not my cup of tea. But EndeavourOS is great for what I need it to do (make old PC feel like slightly less old PC).

    Mint is awesome. If I have to recommend a distro to someone who is not that knowledgeable, I give them Mint and a quick rundown on how it works. Mint is awesome.
