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’ve really enjoyed mint XFCE. I originally started with cinnamon, then tried XFCE, but then bounced to other light weight distributions (lubuntu, puppy Linux, and general Ubuntu as well) before settling once again with mint XFCE for about a year and a half now. I’ve thought about trying to go through the process of making a lightweight arch installation but for a simple “it just works” philosophy my current distro does just that in spades.
