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?

    I personally started on Mint back in 2017. Loved it, but then started getting into virtual machines. So I started disto hopping (installed them in a VM), tried Ubuntu, Tumbleweed, Arch, Fedora, and KDE Neon. Fell on love with KDE Plasma and now I happily use KDE Neon as my daily driver. Tried switching to another distro but found myself missing the many features (the clipboard applet was a game changer for me) and customization that Neon offered so I switched back. Havent found a better distro yet.
