What do former Manjaro users like about EOS?

[kmartin]

@LamnaNasus

This whining stuff will die out by itself, and I predict sooner rather than later, as people forget, move on and get more and more absorbed in Endeavor Linux.

So say we all.

[Janinah]

Sorry to be off-topic, but how did you get the word Norway by your name, instead of the Norwegian flag?

[LamnaNasus]

I’m wondering that myself. I just followed the instructions, and then it came up. I asssumed the norweigan flag file was missing.

[nate]

It’s a known bug in the forum software

Yeah the Norwegian flag jpg appears to be referenced wrongly, it should be:

And yes, let’s please start dropping mentions about the Realm of the Dead. It’s not productive and is taking away from enthusiasm about EOS, which is a much better Distro anyway

Was the plugin written by a Dane or Swede, by any chance?

(I have no idea if that’s actually funny to Scandinavians…)

Happy to be here

And happy to have you here. Welcome!

Here you go. The installation is on 3 separate drives. Each is running BTRFSonLuks using the quick copy and paste method from the wiki here: Thanks to @2000

I am running rEFInd and booting using the grub.efi instead of vmlinuz-linux image
Thanks to @freebird54

It was funny

Reference from Wikipedia
"Norwegian stories are a type of ethnic humor that is common in Sweden. The similarities in the language and the historical gibberish between Swedes and Norwegians made Norwegians a grateful target for Swedish humor. The Norwegians responded to the jokes - the White War had started. In 1968 came the Norwegian version of the Mosebacke monarchy, which probably started the war. The newspaper Expressen reported in May 1975 that people, especially in the Stockholm area, had started with Norwegian stories and presented a selection of these. The Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang in Oslo found out about this and asked its readers to send in “Swedish jokes” and engaged the actor Arve Opsahl as a general in the White War.

The oil company Norsk Hydro has used the Norwegian stories as part of its advertising campaigns in Sweden."

Hello on board! Have fun here in this friendly community.

I see you also think that macOS isn’t that bad either, after all, it’s UNIX-based.

@LamnaNasus

I may be in the minority, but chit chat is the very reason I seek out any Linux forum, at this stage in my Linux journey.

I don’t think you’re in a minority, as one of the cohesive forces of any Linux community is free-themed conversation about music, leisure, wallpapers, and so on.

Couldn’t have put it better.

Your comment is very true. The very worst were sites for questions about Java.
