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

    Was a Windows user up through Win 7.

    I started to play with Raspberry Pis and mostly Raspbian on the side largely related to my amateur radio hobby.

    My laptop died, I bought a new one. Windows 8.1. Figured I’d rather use that slow-ass single core Pi 1 running Debian Wheezy than this.

    First I tried Ubuntu Unity. I thought “Okay this could work, let’s keep shopping.”

    Next I tried Mint Cinnamon. “Here we go.”

    I’ve taken a look at Manjaro a couple times over the years. I have stopped this.

    I briefly tried to run Pop!_OS when I first built my desktop, that lasted 3 weeks.

    My desktop and laptop run Mint Cinnamon, I’ve got a tablet running Fedora Gnome. I kinda found my home fairly quickly and I’m not really interested in moving out.
