What brought you to your current Linux distro and why did you leave the previous one?

What brought me to Kali Linux:
For me with Kali I’ve always preferred the rolling release cycle, ever since Arch Linux. But I also like the polish, the easy organized access to sysadmin, networking and devops tools.
More recently finally appreciating their official switch from Gnome to XFCE.
Why I left Ubuntu LTS:
I’ve used rolling distros for the largest chunk of my time on Linux, mostly because I don’t like having to upgrade my system every few years, or months. So moving to Ubuntu LTS was an experiment to see if I could just settle on one distro ~ eight years or so.
But as it turned out, I went from 20.04 to 22.04 to 24.04 anyway, which defeated my whole goal. Lol That’s what convinced me I needed to get back to a rolling release cycle.

First it was gnome three on Debian Gnome which made me switch to Debian MATE.
After that stable Debian being a problem on too many sites that said my software was out of date all the time plus some proprietary software I wanted to run without work arounds or other hassles. So I switched to Ubuntu MATE.

Does switching desktop also count? 
Oh, nevermind, I’ll include the rest too.
