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

    I used Ubuntu for a long time, because it was easy to use and I wasn’t really a power user on linux (was just using it on a cheap laptop for classes a long time ago). When I built a server for myself recently, I didn’t really explore distros and plopped Ubuntu on it.

    More recently, I got a new laptop and ended up installing Fedora on it. So far, I like Fedora a lot. I know there’s probably a better distro out there for me, but this one worked without fiddling and I’m liking it a lot more than Ubuntu. Ubuntu snaps kinda screwed my server for a year or so. I need to replace Ubuntu on that soon, I’m just not looking forward to dealing with that so it silently stays Ubuntu.
