Hi De Hi Campers :)

I am a long term user of Endeavour, I have had it installed for, ohh, about 2 months I think chuckles.

I was 100% linux for about 8 to 10 years, the first 2 or 3 Ubuntu of course, then manjaro. Then 3 years ago I bought a new decent pc and it came with that other OS installed, OS/ spyware infested mess whichever you prefer.

Well, I did not like that on day 1 and it only got progressively worse for 3 years, and finally snapped and deleted the partitions and discovered Endeavour. My previous linux use was very much as a user and the only CLI I did was copy and paste stuff to fix stuff, this time round I decided it is time to stop playing and actually start learning Linux and I have to say it has been such a wonderful journey so far on ENOS.

I am far from an expert, probably will always be far from an expert as my coding days dates way back to 68000 assembler on the Amiga 500, but I have written a few very handy bash scripts one of which allows me to pretty much create my own GUI for my ageing CCTV system using opendeck and Tacto.

I must extend my sincere thanks for this distro, I can honestly say it has been the exact opposite of the windoze 11 experience, I loved it from first boot, and every day since I love it a little bit more :slight_smile:

Welcome to the Purple Side!

Chuckles, that was a pleasant discovery too given its my fav colour XD

I’m an expert at anything I do with EndeavourOS. . . .

“No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.”

Rich :wink:

Premiere Inn actually, but it also applies.. I actually worked as a sparky on the one at Prestwick airport when it was built :smiley:

that’s how you know it’s love!

Welcome, @AkiraFurball - have fun with EOS.

EOS is now almost 5 years my daily driver on two devices, and it suits my use case very well.

Just like you i liked it from the start.

Hi and welcome to the forum @AkiraFurball

Likewise, shortly after installing it on my “new” pc, I revived my old one from a dusty corner and put it into service as a headless server for samba share, media server, MQTT broker etc Light duties for the old man :smiley:

welcome AkiraFurball

Welcome, and enjoy the journey! Assembler and the Amiga 500 pretty much dates the journey as having been a long and winding one already. :slight_smile:

Indeed, it started way back in 19ZX81, ahh fond memories of glueing computer and ram pack to a piece of plywood to prevent ram pack wobble spring to mind XD
