Hello & Happy New Year

I’m a long time Linux tinkerer. I still have Windows installed, but use Mint about 75% of the time. This is my first true install of Endeavor after trying it in VM several times, and liking it. For now, I have it on an external drive (Samsung T7). If all continues to go well I plan to make room and install Endeavor internally.

I don’t do much distro hoping anymore, because Mint has been perfectly stable, (although Cinnamon is a little boring.) But from time to time I try something on my external drive. Within the past week I tried 3 different distros and the only keeper is Endeavour. Which is great because at the age of 70, no patience remains to mess around setting up Arch - though I love the concept of Arch.

One comment: The only distros that automagically detected my hybrid graphics system were Mint, and I think Fedora did last time I tried it. So I need to figure that out in Endeavour.

The new year begins like the last year ends.

These were the good intentions.

Welcome! Good to have you with us! Fully appreciate the older you get, the less time you have for rough edges. Endeavour smoothens them down perfectly to make Arch perfectly usable for the day-to-day. I stopped hopping several years ago, and this remains (for someone on the wrong side of 50!) by far the best option for freedom and flexibility. Enjoy the journey!

Welcome aboard, @rastus!
