Hello After using Windows literally forever, in the last couple of years I wanted to part from the big techs (Google, FB, microsoft…) due to privacy reasons. Unfortunately I have to work with a couple of Windows apps to pay my bills, which kept me so far from doing the complete switch and arrange myself with Linux only. But in September, when my 2015 Surface Pro 3 felt really heavy with W10 on it, I decided to give Linux a try. I installed a couple of distros and just played around with them (PopOS, Zorin, Fedora, Manjaro and Endeavour) and was amazed how well everything worked. EOS caught my attention, because it was an ultra slick, no nonsense, no gimmicky good looking distro, which has everything on board to start the journey. So here I am, after installing EOS also on my laptop and my main machine (dual boot for now) I’m pretty happy. Of course I have a lot to learn and there are some minor issues which needs to get solved, but I guess, thats where the Forum comes in. A big thank you to the developper team, which makes all this possible!

Welcome! :rocket: [image] RandomBloke: in the last couple of years I wanted to part from the big techs (Google, FB, microsoft…) due to privacy reasons Good thinking :+1:

Welcome to the forum @RandomBloke :tada::balloon:

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy using EndeavourOS! Just bare in mind it is an intermediate distro, so there will be a bit of a learning curve to get things up to speed. But if your patient, open minded, and don’t mind using a terminal from time to time to solve problems, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy your stay. Feel free to post (in a new thread preferably) about your issues you’ve encountered so far, but first do check out the EndeavourOS wiki and the Arch Wiki (respective links below), since both those resources can answer a lot of questions and is an extremely helpful asset to have for Arch/EndeavourOS users: https://discovery.endeavouros.com https://wiki.archlinux.org

Welcome aboard, @RandomBloke :enos: :clap:

Most every issue I have had… found the solution on this forum and the Discovery Wiki. Have fun!!! :grinning: And welcome to the Purple Neighborhood! :enos: :enos_flag: :rocketa_purple:

Better thinking in my opinion is: The 7 things you should definitely not do after a fresh install :wink:

EndeavourOS

New to Linux, new to Endeavour

Welcome.

7 Things After Installing EndeavourOS (MUST DO!) - Video Lounge

The thing is, there will be people watching these videos who will think that EnOS is somehow deficient in its default state and end up borking their systems by installing a load of unnecessary software. My version of seven “must-do” things: Read the wiki Join the forum Make a backup Update your system Use the OS for a while Make and test a backup Read about which bits of software do what, and then install them So there.
