Out of curiosity, you weren't a Void user, were you?

I started on SuSE (not opensuse) in about late 2000, early 2001, and stayed
with it until about 2014.  Have dabbled with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Bodhi, Mageia,
and very briefly, Slackware.  I've been super happy with Mint since about
2015.  I also keep FreeBSD and what's now called TrueOS (a desktop-oriented
FreeBSD, and I hate that name) running on a couple of machines.
