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 used Manjaro for 3 years 2018-2021 on my laptop. I think that’s the longest yet. Been using EndeavourOS since, almost 2 years now.

are you me? same story
I think a lot of people switched when the started messing up. Something was breaking every couple of months, and that too for very stupid reasons. When they forgot to update their signing keys, that’s when I decided that I couldn’t trust them anymore.
This is the first I’ve heard of Endeavour OS. It looks quite nice; I’ll have to give it a try now.
It’s the spiritual successor of Antergos and arguably the best Arch derivative at this moment.
I have the i3 version spun up in a VM at the moment. It seems like something I might jump to. Thanks for mentioning.
It’s vanilla Arch with an installer. Fast and stabile.
