Back in the 1990's and early 2000's I switched a lot more than I do now. I started in RedHat Linux, tried a bunch of stuff, ran Debian on my workstation for a while and RedHat on my servers, OpenBSD on my workstation for a while, then Knoppix, then Ubuntu when it came out.
Once the hardware detection of Knoppix and later Ubuntu became ubiquitous, I went back to Debian. I deal with CentOS regularly for work, and I have been looking at OpenSuSE again recently after ignoring it since 1998 or so because they're using btrfs snapshot before upgrading the way Solaris used to.
Started coding at the age of 13, now a professional software engineer and Scrum Master, creating and maintaining enterprise solutions. Eat - Sleep - Code - Lift - Repeat 💪🏾

So I guess every ten years now?
Ahh good old Suse... I remember the CDs with the big green user manual it was packaged with :D
That is one very good reason to try it out again 👍
