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?

    The reason I switched to Linux was - surprise, surprise - Windows Update. I still maintain WU is a crime against humanity considering how much time and patience it wastes. Then I installed Ubuntu and stayed there for a while and tried others like Xubuntu, Mint, Mageia, Antergos and very briefly Arch.

    The reason I switched to other distros was simply curiosity. Later it was because I had to switch from a desktop to a laptop and since only Arch-derived distros worked on it, I settled on those. I am currently on EndeavourOS and am thinking of switching to ArcoLinux.
