What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

As my personal day-tp-day system, It looks like 8 years of Ubuntu. I have a file server that just will not die that's been running Ubuntu LTS since 2008 though.

Here's my Distro journey:


1996-1997 - Debian (Still dual booting Windows)
1997-2002 - RedHat Desktop 5.0-7.3 (Linux became my main day-to-day OS!)
2002-2003 - Crux
2003-2008 - Gentoo
2008-2012 - Ubuntu / Ubuntu LTS
2012-2014 - Mint
2014-2022 - Ubuntu / Ubuntu LTS / Xubuntu (I switched back to Ubuntu as my personal OS since I had deployed Ubuntu to over 100 systems at work, and I had a little netbook with Xubuntu) 
2022-???? - LMDE 5 (Linux Mint - Debian Edition)

Still loving LMDE.

Jellyfin, we are moving away from Reddit and we are pleased to announce our new forum! in c/technology@beehaw.org

Ooooh! Look at you with yer fancy 14.4k modem! 13 year old me was pretty excited after swapping out a old 300 bps modem for a "blazingly fast" 1200 bps. BBS menus loaded almost instantly! Prodigy running on an IBM XT with 640k was almost usable!
