I think it’s safe to say that most people here have used more than one Linux distribution, and their first distro wasn’t their last. I’m curious, what were the steps that took you from your first Linux distro to what you currently use? What were the reasons you switched away each time? Would you ever switch back to an old distro? Are you happy with your current one?

    Started with Red Hat, about 20 years ago (~6.x?). Tried OpenSUSE for a bit too, as I recall. Used KNOPPIX for a lot of stuff, back in the day. Ran OpenWrt for a few years too. Then Ubuntu from the early days – have pretty much always run that somewhere since. Mint is my main desktop, and has been for, oh, six years or so, I guess. Tried Puppy for a bit, to breathe life into my old netbook; switched to LXLE and am really happy. Just started running Xubuntu on an old desktop I found; workin’ great so far.
