    • Started on a Windows Vista machine, but I dual-booted Mint on it when it started to run slow.
    • The software broke or got corrupted, so I installed Lubuntu.
    • Lubuntu started to freeze, so I installed Mint again.

    The hardware was really outdated at this point, so I got a new machine. Windows 8.1.

    Got a different new computer with Windows 10. Started trying out lots of distros of VMs.

    • Switched out the drive and installed… OpenSUSE, I think?
    • Catastrophic system error during an update, left the system corrupted. I installed Debian.
    • Another system error (which may have been caused by me) led me to install FreeBSD.
    • FreeBSD was usable, but not super usable. I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
    • Catastrophic system error during an update, left the system corrupted. I installed Debian (again).

    tldr: Windows Vista -> Mint -> Lubuntu -> Mint again -> Windows 8.1 (new computer) -> Windows 10 (new computer) -> OpenSUSE Leap -> Debian -> FreeBSD -> OpenSUSE Tumbleweed -> Debian again
