Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hello everyone.  I have just installed arch on a three system recently (two older thinkpads and a virtual machine).  I've been a debian user for several years and am finding the differences interesting.

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hey,
I set up an arch system on a VM to learn more about Linux. Thanks to the arch wiki I can say that this worked quite will so far. Eventually I will switch completely to arch but we'll see how it goes.

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hello everyone, I am Amine from Algeria, mathematician (geometer), chess player, music lover (almost classical)...not fluent in English

I had some experience with Ubuntu and derivatives (Lubuntu, elementary os, crunchbang), but I didn't learn Linux, but just Ubuntu!
Arch is great: 'best' rolling release distribution, pacman (simple syntax, speedy and powerful), nice wiki...
Wishes: implementation of new technologies like wayland...

For me, no troubles with linux (Arch), excpet some problems with network configuration (many new tools for me: DNS, resolv, hostname, gateway, DHCP, MTU,...and tools: ip, dnsmasq, dig, ethtool...) but the page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … figuration is nice, although I have some troubles with my Realtek internet card r8168, d-link DSL-2750U modem and poor internet provider (no transparency in the provider configurations).

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hello Everyone,

Been using ubuntu for quite some time, had it both virtual and dual booted..
Installed arch a while back but after a week or two it crashed after pacman -Syu and I didn't know linux well enough to fix it..
Now I feel I'm more experienced and I want to try again.

Main reason for choosing arch: I find myself looking on arch forum for most of my problems.
Every since I came here I love the support and documentation.

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hey guys!!! how are you all doing?

I am really new to the "arch world" but not completely new to the linux world... i chose arch because i had some issues installing debian/ubuntu on my asus G750-JM laptop, specifically with nvidia drivers. I have found the system really really stable and even if it requires "more mork" the documentation is excellent...

have a good one

*searching intensifies*

The only issues I can see is "more mork" and "issues installing debian/ubuntu".

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

If you observe the causalities under the assumption, that cause and effect relate to each other temporally linearly, you might find, that the original post has been edited after the reply you quoted. If jasonwryan had quoted the original post, you could now observe a phenomenon we sometimes call a heisenquote.

I like that word And aah yes, now I see the timestamps. I also realise that although I have posted in the Arch Linux forums from time to time, I have never introduced myself.

Hello!

I'm currently studying Computer Science in Lausanne/CH, and I've been using Linux since 2008 (back then it was Ubuntu). Before that, I was just an average Windows user, playing WoW, and caring little about how computers work.

In 2010, I started getting interested in learning a little more about how Linux systems work, so I decided to try out Debian, but that didn't quite give me the feeling of "I know how it works". About half a year later I stumbled over an article in some PC magazine that was talking about Arch Linux, and how it was following the KISS principle. After following the Beginner's guide and screwing up 2 Arch Linux installs in a VM, I finally managed to get it baked correctly. And here I am, 5 years later. I'd like to thank everyone in the community, and I hope to stick around a little longer. Despite the fact that I miss the good old rc.conf (systemd is fine as well, though).

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hi,

It's not easy moving from another popular linux distribution. But as the system grows up, the hardware must follow its requirements. Thanks God! Somebody told me about Manjaro. I installed on my old notebook for my children playing videos dan reading ebooks. It works perfectly with low resources dan fast enough.

Now, I use it on my notebook for daily usage. I have to learn much and I hope some day I install Arch as describe at the best wiki.archlinux.org I ever read..

Welcome. My kids use Linux too.

We can help you with questions about Arch Linux here, but the Manjaro Linux forums can help you with Manjaro Linux.

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hello, just came here to ask for help with arch linux and decided to say HI! BTW I must suck, because I just spent three hours trying to get networking working in VirtualBox and it only took me 5 minutes in Slackware(which I have been using for 5 years).

Since Slackware is not a rolling release(and does not always have the latest bleeding edge packages), and Fedora pisses me off sometimes, I have chosen Arch, so I can have all the latest Linux goodies.

Hopefully your OS can hold my attention for longer than two weeks without making me rage quit.

You keep your packages updated in the rolling release and you'll most likely find Allan broke something.  It's boring for a few days, and then pow, oh no gotta get it going again!

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Finally...  I found a distribution that suits me best.  I come from a long history in the computer field, starting with the old Commodore 64 when I was 9 years old, and started working in the field professionally in 1994.  Back then I really liked to put the 'personal' into PC, and was doing my own hardware mods and paint jobs back then.  I specialized in laptop repair for a number of years when Toshiba was the laptop king, but worked on many other models as well, including Texas Instruments, NEC, Panasonic and more.  I really took pride in building out custom PC's with the latest, greatest brand name hardware, and still do to some extent.  My focus shifted around 1999 when I got my MCSE and started working as a systems administrator.  It's unfortunate that I went the M$ route, in hindsight, I really wish I had worked with Linux more at that time.

Over recent years, since around 2008, I have put together a number of Linux based servers, leveraging open source solutions for system and network monitoring (Big Brother and Nagios), security (squid proxy and IDS systems), helpdesk (Request Tracker), print servers, file servers and more.  In terms of hobby servers, I've put together ham radio solutions on the RPi (Echolink), media servers (Plex and Emby very recently), SABNzbd, Couch Potato, Sickbeard and it's newer release of SickRage, etc.

While I enjoy some of the distros I've worked with (mostly CentOS, but Ubuntu, Kali, Fedora, Linux Mint and others as well), I REALLY enjoy building everything from the ground up in a very streamlined fashion.  Over the last few days, I have learned a great deal about the why's and how's from the Arch Wiki, and I know it has to the most complete set of documentation I've seen on Linux yet.  Just wanted to give a big 'thumbs up' to all the developers and community that have made this happen!!!
