I’m from Austria and I may be one of the older guys here. I consider myself a techie and a nerd. I used computers for almost all of my life. My first computer was a Commodore C128, next was a Commodore Amiga 500, then came my first PC. I was a happy Windows user until Windows 10 was announced. Didn’t like the idea of automatic updates and more and more “telemetry”, so I stayed on 8.1 until I switched to Linux about 1,5 years ago. I did a lot of research before switching and my distro of choice was Manjaro. I liked the idea and philosophy of Arch since I first heard of it, but I didn’t have the time (and nerves) to set it up myself, so Manjaro was the best solution for me then. It was a nice and interresting (but not always flawless) experience. I learned a lot about Linux in this time, although I still consider myself , more or less, a beginner. Lately I somehow got bored a bit with Manjaro (and also wasn’t happy about a few things happening over there; but that’s not the place and time to talk about that) and so I ended up here after installing EOS (with KDE) on one of my machines yesterday.
What else can I tell you about me? I’m a privacy advocate (also a reason why I switched to Linux), I like good SciFi, be it movies, TV or books and I like gaming (currently on my second playthrough of The Witcher 3). And I never have time to do all the things I would like to do because there’s always too much work and just not enough free time;-)
Welcome @NX-01
You came to the right place. Kde on EndeavourOS is Awesome. Run it myself. Any thing you need help with or want to know just ask. There are lots of knowledgeable & helpful people here.
Welcome to nearby Austria, from your eastern neighbor! I know one of the developing countries for Manjaro Linux is Austria. By choosing EOS, you get an easy and convenient to use distro for daily use with a great community. I also switched from Manjaro myself, and I wasn’t disappointed, even though I’ve tried quite a few distributions before.
