Slackware 3.0, 3.1,.. to 7.0 when we switched to Bob Youngs Red Hat starting with 4.2 but then quickly to SuSe. I used Suse for a log while through the transition through to openSUSE. I was increasingly unhappy with the management and much of the community. SystemD was the straw to break the camels back and I then went shopping for a new distro. I tried Devuan, and disliked the community. I settled on Manjaro and was happy to see a non-systemd version, which folded and I followed it here.

We have a Linux group in NYC called NYLXS. In thae context of their work, I have probably tested at least 100 different distros. Much of them look the same after a while. I am not a fan of Debian, so Artix was a great place for me to stop. I am hoping to never have to change OS again.
