While I will probably write much more about this when the time comes, the fact that we'll soon be in the year 2026 is reminding me that it was during 2006 that I changed over to using Linux full time at home.
In particular that was with Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake - where the "06" stands for June, so that's when my 20 year mark will be.
And while that's mostly been 20 years of unexciting non-drama nonetheless I do feel that this will be quite a milestone to comment on come June.
