New to Linux, new to Endeavouros

Greetings, humans(I am human too)! I just wanted to introduce myself. I am kisspower12, but the peeps call me KP. I am a longtime windows user who has moved to Linux for about a month now.

Ive always wanted to try Linux and finally was able to do that when my friends pitched together and bought me a mini PC, so that I may have a computer. It’s been ages. I instantly uninstalled Windows11pro and switched to Linux Mint. It has been about a month, and I am now dual booting with my home distro(Debian) and my 2nd distro(Endeavouros).

I have learned a ton about computers under the surface level, and even manually partitioned Endeavouros all by myself! Endeavouros fell into my lap when Arch Linux sounded cool. I didn’t want to get rid of my home distro and I needed something beginner friendly and, well, here we are! I am typing this in the distro as I speak!

Thank you so much for reading this(You probably didn’t)..
I hope to learn a ton about Arch systems AND Endeavouros..
And I hope you welcome me into your community! Have a great day!

Welcome to the community @kisspower12! :waving_hand::partying_face: :enos_flag:

Enjoy your new adventure :hugs:

But I did :wink:

Welcome to the forum and the Purple way of Life!

@kisspower12

Welcome to the EndeavourOS forum. I hope you enjoy your time here.

People that make this brave move fall into 2 camps:

  1. I want all the programs I had in Windows and I demand the Linux experince to be the same!
  2. Upbeat, open-minded, willing to explore this strange new beast, fully confident they made the right move.

You, new friend, sound like the second one. That’s the path to success and adapting to the linux learning curve.
Advice: ask ask ask anything at any time, people here go out their way to keep other users upright on arch, endeavour, knowledge, maintenance, troubleshooting, music, etc.

Welcome welcome!
Hope you enjoy the arch way :grin:

Hello @kisspower12 and welcome to the :enos:-Forum!

Welcome!! and enjoy the ride of freedom

Hi, @kisspower12 :slight_smile:

Hey! Good to have you with us! Mini PCs are amazing these days, and more powerful than people realise. Small does not equal weak. Enjoy the journey!

Welcome @kisspower12 :slight_smile:

Welcome KP. Hope you have a blast using EOS. It is a great distro based on Arch. With very helpful community.

Out of curiosity what Debian version have you installed?

I am running Debian(stable) 12 Bookworm

@kisspower12 , hi! Enjoy your time here. :waving_hand:

Your ahead of the curve. I see a lot more people coming over by the end of the year when MS discontinues Win10. Crap is just to expensive now to go out and buy a new computer and when more people realize how powerful Linux actually is Windows is going to dig their own graves.

Welcome @kisspower12

Thank you, everyone! I can see why people say this is a great community! Hope to be here for the long run. :slight_smile:
