Hi,
I am back to Linux after being away for almost 8 years. Though I happily lived with Linux since 2000 till 2013. (Efi and UEFI stuff kept me out and I was quite busy, didn’t have time to struggle with it).
Recently retired and I’m all free again.
I recently tried quite a few distros over the past few weeks till I just found Endeavour and installed yesterday (XFCE).
Seems interesting and a great distro (responsive and fast enough).
What I love mainly about Linux -in addition to freedom and quality… etc.- is the community.
I hope I’m welcome!
Thank you.

Yes, she left me for anothAUR package that was bigger. But good news is I didn’t have any dependencies with her, so I got a cleanBUILD!

Lucky you. For me I had to remove the Windoze and install Linux from scratch, fresh install.
But unfortunately there are still some “traces” in the cloud!
