I'm here! IIRC I started on a Knoppix live CD and over the next year or so I hopped around Mandrake, Ubuntu, Gentoo[1], Red Hat, etc. mostly coming back to Mandrake... and then I found Arch and fell in love with its simplicity and speed. Around the time of GNOME 3 and KDE 4 I went looking for a new DE and found Unity to be the best and most polished - even to this day it's better than anything I've used before or since - which meant I had to use Ubuntu for a while, but eventually the Debian-isms and instability got to me and I went back home to my Arch. BTW, I use Arch Linux... on servers and have found it to be very stable, simple and pain-free esp. when compared to Debian and Ubuntu. [1]: https://funroll-loops.oya.to/ https://funroll-loops.oya.to/
