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?

    At least one of my primary use boxes has been running Fedora since 2003 (and Red Hat Linux RIP before that, going back to… 1996? since fedora was the successor to Red Hat Linux, I’d say I’ve got 25 years on “Fedora” at this point). I have rotated a variety of Debian derivatives on other boxes used in parallel, particularly Debian itself. What keeps me coming back to Fedora is its “stable plus really really fresh”, consistently, for a long time.
