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?

    I started with RedHat 5.2 (Probably around 1998 or 1999), then Debian -> Slackware -> Gentoo -> Arch -> Ubuntu. Not I typically use a mixture of Ubuntu and OpenBSD on desktop and Debian and OpenBSD on servers. I also did Linux from Scratch around the same time as I was using Gentoo.
