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?
That’s the first mention I’ve seen of ZenWalk. Yes, I used that in the 2007-2008 timeframe. I actually cleaned out of storage some old computers and found one that still booted ZenWalk last summer.
I liked the philosophy. As a distro, it died for a few years, and then was reborn a few years ago.
It really was solid and a pleasure to use at the time. The philosophy of it was really nice and felt clean. After transitioning to Arch I didn’t keep up with its changes, so I didn’t know it died for a while😔
