Hey, everyone, nice to meet you! 💚 I used Linux mint for about 5 years in the past. Then got a new PC and was too lazy to install Linux so spent about 3-4 years on Windows. But recently, ive been annoyed with the big tech companies and decided to return back to good old Linux. Im not really a technical person at all. But I found Mint a bit boring and wanted to try something more exciting this time. Of course, I’m absolutely not ready for Arch 😃 So, im giving EO a try, hopefully the golden middle road for me. Im really looking forward to chatting with you mainly in the lounge part of the forum ☺ since I cant give technical advice to anyone, but I enjoy random off topic discussions 😁 ---

Hey @Vesna, welcome to the forum. Take a seat and start your journey. You don’t have to be a “real technical person” to enjoy EndeavourOS. :enos_flag: Just feel free to ask, and always think of learning is the only thing a brain likes. 😉 ---

Hello and welcome @Vesna ! > [@Vesna](#): > > I’m absolutely not ready for Arch 😃 So, im giving EO a try, hopefully the golden middle road for me. EOS is essentially Arch with a graphical installer, some configurations and a repo with some quality of life scripts. So get ready to roll! You are using [Archlinux](https://archlinux.org/)! Ah, and there is this forum! It is said that it’s one of the best out there 😉 ---

Yay, youre right! Today theres the first big challenge in front of me - install my printer. And download Brave browser (it didn’t work yesterday when I copy pasted some commands from other forums). So im getting ready to do more googling and ask Claude today. But ill try to actually understand what im doing this time. Not just passively copy pasting. Sooo… I’ll be able to say that I installed a printer on Arch basically 😉 ---
