Hi,
I’ve been on the forum for a while now and I haven’t said hello. Shame on me ! 
I’ve been using EndeavourOS with KDE (and therefore Mercury) for almost 2 years after eight or nine years on “classic” Archlinux. I am very happy to use this distribution!

Hello @Toniozz
What made you decide to make the switch?
EndeavourOS is faster to install and much closer to a pure Archlinux than Manjaro for example, (which I had also tested at one time). With good support, good stability and a roadmap.
I needed such a distribution for my pro PC. As I know the Archlinux ecosystem mostly, with technical reflexes in case of problems (or the use of Archwiki), it was the easiest solution.
After I also use ArchlinuxARM for my 2 Raspberry Pi and Debian environments at work.
Merci ! et au plaisir de discuter sur le forum
Hum ! It’s really shameful indeed. Better late than never 
Bonsoir @Toniozz and welcome to the 
-Forum 
Good to have you with us! Did you ever play with Mandrake way back in the day, - if you were using Linux way back in the late 90’s and 2000’s? An excellent distro! I spent a lot of time on Arch too, but EOS just smooths off so many timesinks and slightly rough edges, - an absolute pleasure to use! Enjoy the journey!
Arf ! No, I started with the Ubuntu “driving school” in 2006 !
I’ve heard of Mandrake but I’ve never used it. I was too young, or rather I wasn’t interested in these subjects at the time.
I started programming on MVS and after Z/OS environments in 1999, a bit like the prehistory of computer science. Linux was some kind of mystery for me and not used much in the banks where I started working
Welcome, @Toniozz, have fun with the OS and its community.
I also started my Linux journey with Ubuntu 6.06.
And I’ve also been wokring with IBM Z/OS back in 2000/2005 or so. Nightly calls because of some “abending” JCL’s running cobol software … If I remember correctly I was young in those days 
Aaaaaahhh JCL my personal nightmare. Anyway ! This is 2025, forget mainframe, welcome EndeavourOS and a lot of fun !
Good evening (in France)
