What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Several years of Linux Mint on desktop and Ubuntu LTS on server.
Initially my Linux journey started with Debian. Then I tried various things for both desktop (Mandrake, SuSE, Gentoo...) and server (like FreeBSD) but ultimately went back to Debian-based things mostly out of lazyness.
It's the most well-supported distribution for end users, by far.
