Hello,
I need to check when I installed my distro? Is there any way of checking this on Linux?
Actually, I represent Linux to my friend as proof of how much stable Linux which I have been using for almost more than 2 years without any reinstallation. (knock on wood )
I searched Ddg and google but I can’t found a notable thing.
So Is there any counter in Linux or Log file
My distro Manjaro Cinnamon.

Then that probably means somehow you reinstalled over or reformated root or similar.
I suppose you could check your users home instead?
stat -c '%w' ~
[edit … oh … those quotes got me too. hah. fixed]
What @cscs said, maybe you 've used a backup mechanism.
You may find more info in the archived forum for example:

I have been using Manjaro Linux for quite some time now. And I am very happy with it. Sure, there were teething troubles initially. But with the community here, I was up and running quite fast. So, a BIG THANK YOU to the developers, maintainers,...

looks better by the way I checked the creation time of any first file like music,Docs as you said home.
But how can I check this
Its so interesting…
(base) [axe@axe-20aws2t12n ~]$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda2 | grep “created”
[sudo] password for axe:
Filesystem created: Wed Feb 12 18:58:25 2020
we’re digging deeper and deeper
I started questioning myself Should I did this?
But I don’t know how to use backup
Sorry, I’m a little different person who doesn’t use these.
