Hmmm. My hopping stared long ago. I think it was something like:
MINIX > Slackware > RedHat > Gentoo > LFS > RedHat > Ubuntu > Bazzite
MINIX isn’t technically Linux, but I’m including it for fun. And Ubuntu was by far the longest stretch. Probably close to 15 years on that one.
I’ve used so many over the years. Sublime was really cool for a bit. Notepad++ and UltraEdit look like ass but they were both daily drivers for a long time. These days I bounce between codium and vim throughout the day. I kinda hate codium/vscode but I use it for the same reason I’ve used vim for so long: it’s functional and available everywhere.
I should really give one of the newer vim clones a closer look one of these days.
