For me it was:

Windows (for many years) -> Ubuntu (for a year) -> Arch Linux (for half a year) -> Void Linux (literally 2 days) -> Artix Linux with runit (a month) -> Gentoo Linux (another month) -> Debian (finally, I don’t plan on changing it).

Also, when trying to switch from Gentoo to Debian, I fucked up all my data with no backup.

What was your journey?

EDIT: Added Windows

    Mine was/is/will be:

    • Windows

    • Some ancient version of Corel Linux that came on a CD that was free with a magazine that I could never get to work properly

    • Some version of SUSE that I bought from a computer store impulsively, that also never worked properly

    • Ubuntu 6.something that finally worked!

    • Several more years of Ubuntu, gradually drifting over to Kubuntu/KDE Neon as I realised I liked KDE more than GNOME/Unity

    • Manjaro as an awkward transitional phase to becoming an Arch person

    • A split between full Arch (btw) for my laptop which is the tinkering machine that I’m allowed to break, and Pop!OS on the desktop, which is the one other people use that has to actually work all the time

    • The distant call of NixOS, which I’m currently fiddling with in a VM and is trying to tempt me into nuking my laptop once again.
