That's true! Mine was around 2010, with Ubuntu's Maverick Meerkat I think I've made the switch (thou I have been dabbling since Hardy Heron).
Now I'm running #Fedora on my laptop (but looking to switch) and #Debian 12 on my storage server. I'm contemplating between also running Debian, the new release of #Solus, #AlpineLinux or #NixOS
