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?

    Been on kubunu since 2008 on LTS versions. Rock stable 99% apps support and most have a ppa. Other distros nowhere near as stable and no package repos. Flatpak is changing that and not a big fan of snap though. We will see what might break my streak.

      KDE4 was stable for you? You have hit the jackpot, then, for me it froze pretty regularly, I’ve had artifacts, and of course there was Akonadi with high cpu and disk use.
