Hello, new forum member

Hi,

New here. Started Linux journey with my old job as tech support working in RHEL.

Still using Windows bare metal but have several Linux distros in VirtualBox.

Started in the typical debian distros; Ubuntu, Mint and Pop_OS.

Just recently started looking at the Arch-based distros EndeavourOS and Manjaro.

I like both distros but especially like how EndeavourOS is easy on resources but still delivers a great GUI experience. Good job!

As impressed as I am with the EndeavourOS GUI I live in the terminal and there are things that require manual intervention, this is still Arch btw.

Welcome @tstevens - your trajectory seems comparable to mine: from Ubuntu (6.6), and other *ubuntu flavours like Kubuntu, Xubuntu, to Peppermint and BunsenLabs on very old hardware. Then Manjaro, which got me into arch territory. Once I found EOS I haven’t looked back.

I worked in tech support as well: supporting workers of a telecom corporation, when they switched from DOS to Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

Very much like my trajectory :slight_smile:

At first I found the purples a little-offputting. The purplish look has really grown on me since.

I discovered Arch (Endeavour) late/last on my journey and it was ‘where have you been?’ i.e. for a production tool or enjoying entertainment, ‘the arch way’ of doing things is very much in line with my mentality or the way I think things should be done in PC world

That said unlike most distros, Arch requires a commitment from you: for maintenance, to understand the role of the AUR, to dedicate yourself to knowledge and it’s wiki. Endeavour makes this pretty cool.

Welcome.

Tested out EOS a few years ago off and on & Decided to make EOS my permanent distro at home and occasional remote work. Sold my imac and put EndeavourOS on a system76 mini desktop just recently. :purple_square::grapes::alien_monster::+1:
