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?

    OpenSuse Tumbleweed and Arch. I can’t stay for very long on non-rolling distros. I’d only run Tumbleweed but due to the lack of users or popularity, if often lacks documentation and everyone forgets it exists in the first place. I couldn’t get Rocm working on Tumbleweed because of that for example.
