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

    Desktop: Macintosh ( Windows (XP-10) w/occasional Ubuntu dual-boot (various DEs) -> Debian + Gnome

    Server: Ubuntu LTS -> Debian

    I’ve also had a number of used thinkpads over the years where I mostly ran Xubuntu and crunchbang.

    I still boot into Windows every month or so if I need to model something in Rhino (CAD). Couldn’t get it working in Wine and my 12 YO computer isn’t performant enough to run it in a VM. The last thread remaining and waiting to be cut…
