Hi all!
I am new here to the forums, though not entirely new to Linux. I have been using Linux since 2014, starting with Kubuntu and later on Ubuntu, before switching to openSUSE, which I used until 2019. I have spent the past 5 years or so on Manjaro, which is nice and has worked well. However, I got to try EOS and I fell in love with it and its pure Arch style (I did run original Arch for some months as well, but I am not a big fan of its community and I had my issues with the OS).
That said, the experience has been smooth and fun so far, and it is likely, that EOS will be my home for a long time… It has already replaced Manjaro on my disk. My criteria were, that it has to be a KDE distro and, if possible, based on Arch (I use the AUR heavily and contribute there, and I am just not a fan of having to use snap, to get common packages…).
As for me, I am in my 40s, own an IT business and work on Software and Web Development, Copywriting and book writing. I actually did write a book about openSUSE which was published in 2016.
Cheers,
Ben
