The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hello All

As you can tell, I am a new user, but after a couple of days of installation and troubleshooting, I now have a beautiful Arch desktop running!

I started out with the what seems to be default, Ubuntu a couple years back. I since then have been pretty much devoted to Linux in general, only using god forsaken Windows when playing SWTOR or needing to use Lightroom.

Even though Linux was amazing, I was seeking more. I was good with the switch to unity at first, but then felt like I was using an OS designed for 3 year olds. I started the infamous distro hop and really started getting frustrated. Everything was either just two dumb stupid, or badly made. I needed comfort, as I had no stable developer environment either.

Then the heavens opened up and I saw the light. ARCH!!! Well, to clarify, I installed ArchBang, which was pretty awesome, then i dove in and installed the bad boy, arch itself.

So in a nutshell, Arch is probably the best distro around, especially if you don't like all the handholding going on.

So thank you devs, community, and wiki! Your help was immense! I will probably do a re-install today to get a nice clean system. Probably using Xfce.

Thanks!

Arch sucks. Don't use it.

Ok! Sound advice.

I'm a big proponent of Windows ME. It's a solid OS.

Hey guys, heard a lot about this distro. I'm about to start a small project with the objective of learning as much as I can about Linux as possible.

I've used GNU/Linux for about 2 years now, starting with Ubuntu 10.04 and then moving on to my current Debian Squeeze. I've enjoyed every moment though I don't feel I've learned all that much, so now I'm looking for something I can build from scratch and really get stuck into.

Glad to be here

We're glad to have you here, HungGarTiger. Arch is a good choice for trying to learn about Linux. It gives you the opportunity to build your own environment.

Hi igorka! We're glad to have you here on the forums. Enjoy your transition from Ubuntu
I also moved from Ubuntu to Arch a little while ago and I have found that I have A LOT more control over my system now. It is a great feeling.

JGunn88 · 2012-06-28 05:58:22

Howdy,
New to both Arch and Linux. Been bit by both the linux and arch bugs and am looking forward to doing everything from the ground up for myself, best way to learn. After researching different distros arch is looking to be the best fit. Good to know a community like this is here for the noobs. Good to be here.

Hi guys,
This distro is new for me too (I used to work with Ubuntu) and I hope this forum help me with learning. Sorry if my english is incorrect, I'm from Poland.
At the end I want to say, I'm glad to join you.

Hello All,
I am new to the Arch OS and Forum. Just wanted to drop a note to say hi and thank all the Dev's and Contributors for making a great OS. :-)

redmo · 2012-07-05 00:03:42

Hi folks
I'm kinda new to Linux. I am using Ubuntu (what else) now for like 10 months and i fell in love with the Linux/Unix way. By now, I have some theoratical knowledge about unix/linux and now I also want to get some practical skills and I think for that, ArchLinux is the way to go!
Big thanks to all the devs, contributers and the community. I think i will feel pretty comfortable here.

cybersoldier · 2012-07-05 15:35:58

What's good y'all? Cut my teeth on the Oneiric Ocelot last November. I bided my time and learned as much bash as I could until I felt ready to switch to Arch. I made it happen two months ago, and since then I've learned so much about how computers actually work. It's about time I became more involved in the community. Can't wait to see all the different permutations that Arch has taken on for each and every user on the forum

celebrimbor · 2012-07-06 05:42:31

Hello everyone! Namaste to all from Gujarat, India! I am kinda distro hopper (only a noob though) and have tried some easy-to-use distros like Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mageia, Mandriva, Debian, Crunchbang, Sabayon, Bodhi, Pear,Puppy, Slitaz, Backtrack in the last 12-14 months and finally decided to use Arch to dive deeper in Linux world! I am very excited to join the such an awesome community! And thanks decent wiki and forums!

P.S. I might still ask stupid question because my lack of knowledge!

Karan1417 · 2012-07-06 05:46:36

Ubuntu and Fedora left their old machine fellows. Now on Arch linux, Wear any cloth you want and do it yourself, nothing like struck at Unity and KDE

Hi all!

Hi...! A new archer hare. I used Windows for a long time before moving to Linux/Ubuntu last year. After using Ubuntu for 10 months I decided to get my hands dirty and did my first Arch install couple of days ago thanks to the excellent Arch Wiki and Arch Linux forums.

Hi Archer! We're glad to have you here. Enjoy your stay, and don't be afraid to ask for help. The arch wiki is also a great place to go for help as well
