Just curious to know if anyone has been using the same distro for multiple years/decades and what or if you have it takes for you to want to switch to a different distro?

    I moved from Redhat when they started pulling the shit around getting paid for their source. I understand why they did it, but I disagreed with that choice and I moved.

    I quit Ubuntu when I finally had enough of their insistence on their way for everything such as firefox via snap, sure I can and did work around their shit, but why the fuck should I?

    I would move from Opensuse if they did something similar, if it became unreliably maintained, or if something much better came along.

      I love my Tumbleweed install. It is rolling and new while also being rock solid. But I do have the itch to try new stuff which j do sometimes

        Yeah I have the same impression of it, although the volume of some updates, even when I update daily, can be a little off-putting.

        I wont move unless I have a good reason to, inertia over the effort to change when bored is too high

      I saw too much while turning the corpse they kicked over the fence into a unitedLinux we could ship and support.

      The horrors.

      If the entire company died and absolutely new people made a new company by the same name with none of the former staff or principals involved, then I would consider suse. The taint goes so deep I would not consider even a new source drop with the same staff.

        I’m not familiar with any of what you’re saying. Would you care to expand on it a little bit? Also, which distro do you use instead?
