Hello Everyone,
I am a 30 + year experienced Windows Professional Support Technician with both hardware and software.
OS and 3rd party software (not all 3rd party software, obviously)
I also have some user/power user personal experience with Linux starting with Red Hat 2 stable in 1995’ish? I did some distro hopping for a few years, then never touched Linux for about 15 years-the last distro I tried was a Debian distro and it was fun! Borked most of the time but fun to learn howto fix it
About 15 years ago I started to dabble with Ubuntu and it’s derivatives. I ended up using Kubuntu on a dual boot until about 6 months ago when an update borked my Kubuntu.
The thing that remained constant about my Linux experience since 1995 is that I was always disappointed in something. The modem didn’t work as it should. I had to spend 3 months reading and learning about monitors and graphics cards to get my display working in Red Hat 2 and more than a few others. Gaming…sigh…enough about that. Printing …sigh…enough about that to. I mean it was ALWAYS something that drove me back to Windows where things “just worked”.
My point is that before I tried EndeavourOS I had given up hope of there EVER being a Linux that just worked. Or just worked with minimal intervention from me. Even on Windows I spend a few days getting everything installed, configured and looking the way I like it.
THIS is my point. This OS, this beautiful OS called Endeavour is AMAZING. I mean, from a guy like me who ALWAYS runs back to the Windows safety net to say I feel like I can stay here for the rest of my life, this EndeavourOS is totally AMAZING. I am SO happy I over came my fear of the big bad “Arch” and just installed it.
Thank you, Thank You, Thank You! I cannot say it enough am going to put my mouth where my money is right now.
Thank You to everyone responsible for this beautiful, wonderful OS.
