Hello to all my fellow EndeavorOS travelers, or any other distro come to that.I have used Debian based distros for a number of years, but after buying a new PC a year ago, found that some websites just didn’t connect .
I then thought I’d give a go to something different. Enter EndeavourOS. It all just works.
Little bit of goggling on how to get my scanner working (at least 5 minutes) and now everything works.
One happy camper to be fully back in the land of Linux.
Hopefully as I learn more about Arch based distro I’ll be able to contribute.
Ah, the greeting in the subject line is because I live of the Isle of Man, and that’s how you say hello to anyone

Hello and welcome 
Hi Paulh 
Glad to see your tailoring everything to your needs 
I wish you the best and greatest experience with this great OS, as free and “libre” programs are becomming more and more important 
Looking forward to read great posts about your new machine and how it gives you good service.

Welcome @Paulh
I’m on Linux since 2000, used lots of distros, and I have distrohopped like crazy in 2021/2022 till I settled on Arch as I found it the best then settled finally for over a year now on EndeavourOS, the best of the best!
There is nothing like it in all my Linux life

Welcome to the forum!
Welcome traveler!
There’s a good chance you might be our first Linux user in the Isle (that we know of)! There’s roughly 90k people if I remember. Great to have you with us! Every day’s a learning experience, on your own terms and with a machine you truly own, not rent or subscribe to.
Enjoy the journey!
Can you create a step-by-step post about the scanner model and how to get it working? That will help future users, and make EndeavousOS even more user friendly.
Step 1:
Make sure you have ink in your scanner.
No, seriously:
It’s the current year.
