The Distro You Used for the Longest Time: Debian
The first distro I used was SuSE (yes, before there was "Open" in the name π ) on a Pentium III
I spent many years on Arch, but it don't think it's the distro I used the most any longer...
The distro I am using now is Fedora Workstation, which has been my daily driver for a dozen years now, and it's also my favorite distro.
The distro I'll be using in the future may be Silverblue
The distro I hate the most... is Ubuntu π I had so many troubles over the years with this one, there was always something nonfunctional
My honorable mention: CachyOS looks pretty nice π
As for all the distros I tried... there's way too many π

Template please π§
