Hi all šŸ‘‹ Iā€™am a retired 63 year old guy, who programmed in COBOL in the 80ā€™s. Although I stopped years ago, the world of computers has always been in my head. Iā€™ve followed Linux since its beginnings and Iā€™ve always had some distro available, in dual boot for years. I donā€™t usually go into Windows, especially since I quit my job, except when I feel like spending some time on Wargames, my other passion. Years ago I discovered Antergos and my Galician consort spirit fell in love with that distro and the Arch world, abandoned for ever to Debian. When it disappeared, apart from the displeasure, I had to look for a new distro and Iā€™ve tried several, although Manjaro has been the usual one. Recently Iā€™ve considered that my workstation should be an Arch/bspwm and when looking for information I found this distro and its reference to the Antergos community and its proximity to Arch made me choose it. I consider myself an intermediate user, like console, XFCE and Emacs, of which I am an apprentice. I hope to be able to do something with this community and distro in a short time. Of course my Blog will focus a lot on my experience with it all. My first tasks will be - Install my Nvidia drivers, although I hope soon to remove that card from my computer (Ryzen 7 ). - Install my Xerox 3225 - Install my Synology Q220+ NAS - Start studying and building the bspwm environment. I have a lot to learn, but itā€™s going to be an exciting way, Iā€™m sure. Sorry if my English is not very correct but although I understand it Iā€™ve to use a translator to write it. All the best ! ---

Gracias por el detalle, pero siempre he creido importante conocer el InglĆ©s y gracias a eso puedo leerlo sin mucho problema, incluso entender algĆŗn vĆ­deo, pero hablarlo y escribirlo se resiste y prefiero practicar. ---

Nice post. My background is similar but not so much coding. I started with computers in the 80s for both work and pleasure. I have enjoyed trying to perfect my desktop environment both in Windows and Linux. Like you, since my retirement 7 years ago I have almost abandoned Windows. I only use it to help someone else out. My main system has been Ultimate Edition Linux about 15 years ago when I was also an Admin with the distro. I was one of the testers of that system. It has become inconsistent and unreliable and so I have been using Ubuntu Mint and the last few years Ubuntu Mate. I have installed Endeavour OS recently because I want to try Arch again and see if it can work a little better. Ubuntu Mate has a bug that is known but not fixed and this has made me look at Endeavour OS. I hope I enjoy it. ---
