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 removeded up all my data with no backup.

What was your journey?

EDIT: Added Windows

    I think mine went something like this: Windows (for a long time) -> Zorin Os -> Linux Mint -> Ubuntu -> Fedora (I don’t remember how long I used any of them) -> Manjaro.

    Here I got myself into a hole, distrohopping aimlessly, like, I kept switching from distro to distro literally every day. I was checking my emails, and discovered that I have 156 confirmation emails from the ecosia search engine, so I guess that represents the many times I distrohopped during this time (about 5 or 6 months).

    I never really understood what happened there, maybe it was anxiety.

    And then I finally stopped at linux mint, I’ve been here for about a month (more time, i made many clean installs, but always returning to mint), I don’t intend to change.

    Maybe I’ve beaten distrohopping? well, I hope so.

      Exactly the same thing had happened to me. I have used Debian for about a month now and I don’t think I will change it.
