For me it was:

Windows (for many years) -> Ubuntu (for a year) -> Arch Linux (for half a year) -> Void Linux (literally 2 days) -> Artix Linux with runit (a month) -> Gentoo Linux (another month) -> Debian (finally, I don’t plan on changing it).

Also, when trying to switch from Gentoo to Debian, I fucked up all my data with no backup.

What was your journey?

EDIT: Added Windows

  • Windows 95

    Suse Linux

    Yoper Linux

    Windows XP

    Slackware

    Windows 10/11

    Fedora Linux

    “Relapsed” to Windows for a while because I became a graphic designer and running a somewhat current Adobe suite on wine was impossible (it works now).

    Slackware has been amazing, but having to built so much stuff from scratch takes too much time nowadays.

    And those first Suse years were too rough to keep using it as a daily driver.
