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

    Windows 2000

    Windows Vista Windows 8

    Trying every Linux distro under the sun for a little while in VirtualBox

    Linux Mint + Windows 8 later 10 dual boot due to software required by school

    Trying some Arch based systems in VirtualBox

    My owm minimal Arch i3 setup + Windows 10 dual boot due to software required by school

    Issues with my own setup, Manjaro + W10

    Manjaro is weird, EndeavourOS + W10 (only for a short while)

    Linux Mint just works (+W10, until I could fully use my own software, now it’s just Mint for several years)

    I’m tinkering around with NixOS in QEMU from time to time, not everything “just works” but it’s okay

      Man, a monospace fixed size array would be really nice for ASCII art eh? Kinda like a text image. I suppose you could take a screenshot, but then there’s image hosting issues in the future.

      Sorry, random idea.

        Screenshot woulda been better just so everyone sees the same thing lol. I wasn’t sure what it would look like because on browser it highlighted some things green, and on Voyager it seems to highlight 4+ space indented as gray. No clue what is going on there :D

        vim with :set virtualedit=all gets pretty close being able to “paint” text anywhere… unfortunately i was on my phone and didn’t think to use it
