    I’ve been happily running Debian for over a decade. Stable for servers, Testing or SID for laptops and desktops. The original installs not still running and upgrading are ones on hardware too obsolete to be useful (SheevaPlug). Still probably supported by Debian though!

    Including one install that started as Mint Debian Edition, was upgrading to Testing, then cross graded from 32bit to 64bit, been through 3 motherboards and is now Stable for it’s final days before the disk is scrapped.

    I love the pacakaging, the philosophy and all the platforms supported (including really old ones).

    I literally count it among the proof humans are not irredeemable.

    Edit: Expand about “obsolete”.

        Absolutely fine. Probably helps I’m a XFCE man so at least my desktop doesn’t suddenly change. I enjoy the constant incrementing of stuff. Gets boring before a Stable release during the freeze.
