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?
Probably Linux Mint or Solus, the problem with Mint was the older package base. I loved all of the built-in tools they had, but everything else was so far behind and Cinnamon doesn’t even support Wayland. Solus was the next one I tried, but it has slowly been dying, with their lead dev resigning and the guy maintaining Budgie taking over again, I’m not sure how trustworthy they really are at this point. I’m also aware of the whole serpentOS deal they have with Ikey right now, but honestly that doesn’t really bring me any comfort. I switched to endeavor and I can’t see myself moving away from it any time soon. I did have a brief run with Nobara, but the fact that it was based on Fedora and Fedora usually takes some hoops to jump through for extra package repos and there are some packages that require compiling from source, so I didn’t really want to mess with it anymore.
