Just curious to know if anyone has been using the same distro for multiple years/decades and what or if you have it takes for you to want to switch to a different distro?

    Was a Ubuntu user from 9.10 until 20.04; snap shittyness caused me to hop around for a while. Settled on Mint a few years ago.

    It’s stable, gets out of my way and lets me get my work done.

      Similar here. Left Red Hat for Ubuntu Warty because reviews suggested it was great (it was). Left Ubuntu for Debian because of snaps (not so great). Left Debian for Fedora because immutable sounded like less system admin and more using apps (it is).

      It has been a really long time (20? years) since I’ve been on nix. Kind of torn by Mint and Deb. I want the ease ootb but the flexibility of Deb.
