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

warning: some non-linux included below

  • minix
  • slackware
  • early Debian
  • FreeBSD (ftp installs instead of 20 floppies! OMG!)
  • Debian
  • Crunchbang <-- loved that original project
  • Solaris (friend gave me a Sparc 5)
  • DSL, Puppy linux (had a tiny netbook)
  • **Debian on workstations and servers since ~2014 **
  • various debian-based distros on RPI

I do spin up other distros in a VM from time to time to see what's what. Most recently NixOS since people won't STFU about it. :-)
