Let's be friends!

I’m from Germany, Lower Saxony. I know a little English, but it’s easier to use Deepl.

Reading is also easier than writing.

It’s already 7:10 p.m. here.

So there’s the time difference to consider as well.

So cool! Thanks for sharing. I could go off on a tangent here, but to keep things more on topic - you’d said your new to endeavourOS, so what brought you here to this distro and how are you liking it so far?

I really like it. I used to use Linux Mint, and I came across this operating system on another forum.

Hi @LittleBit906 , welcome to the forum, enjoy your Endeavour. :victory_hand: :enos_flag:

Hey! Good to have you with us, use what works for you, find the tools that fit, and enjoy the journey.!

Thank you! This seems like a really awesome community.

Thanks! That’s exactly one of the many things I’m loving about Linux, is there’s something for everyone. This seems like the right next step for me as I love living in the terminal and want to further expand my knowledge on how the system works.

Happy to have you here and I’m glad you chose endeavourOS!

Thank you! My apologies if my original post was out of place. I probably could have started a different thread asking about users experience with this distro or something else like that. I’m just super excited to have found a place with people even nerdier than I am (that’s a compliment or intended to be). I do appreciate the welcome.

welcome LittleBit906 and also me choose this distro… for it is so great and user friendly for using the arch way.

This community is fantastic. I can’t say I’ve met any of them really (you know face-to-face, voice,etc), but I have great respect for most of the forum regulars.

Thanks, I appreciate the welcome! That’s what I’m looking for, something user-friendly while still being a hands-on learning experience.

Thank you! I agree, from what I’ve experienced so far this is a really welcoming community and I’m very glad to be here. :slightly_smiling_face:

Ah, I remember my college’s installfest. It consisted of my peers playfully opening up a random distro’s website on my laptop every time I left it open and unattended until one summer I eventually decided to say “Fine I’ll dual boot.”

Could it be considered peer pressure? Maybe, but Linux peer pressure is definitely better than the other kinds.

Glad you ended up here! Have you tried many other distros before this one? And how are you liking it so far?

Oh yeah! My first would have been Linux Mint, but on the laptop I had at the time it had some really weird graphical glitches. I went with Manjaro instead (despise it now, gave me so many issues). Did that for a couple years before jumping to straight up Arch. I think I had some sort of odd issue that I couldn’t fix myself / I liked not having to tinker sometimes so I jumped to this when I built my first PC a couple of years ago.

I did use Ubuntu, Debian, and a couple of other distributions in between those on other machines at University, but I’ve always liked the Arch based distros for my personal machines. My home server actually runs Arch too which has had its challenges, but it is a fun project to constantly work on and add things to.

:laughing: I have images of some guy hanging around a darkened alley in a trench coat, “pssst.!! Over here! opens trench coat, the inner lining adorned with CDs I’ve got the latest Ubuntu, Fedora.. whispers Kali’s extra..”

That sounds like fun, running an Arch server. I’ll be honest though I don’t know very much about servers yet. I’ve just started learning about networking in the last week or so. But I think it’s something I’m going to end up getting into. I wanna be able to do a lot of experimenting, so I can see myself with with a small home lab down the road. To be fair I’ve only been using Linux since the start of this year, and didn’t know anything when I started. But once I got into it, I was hooked. Wish I’d have started all this 10 years ago honestly, but hey I’m here now!
