Hello everybody !
New arrival here. Hope we get along by going along.
Cheers.

Hello everyone.

I am Adhokshaj Mishra, coming from Lucknow (the city of Nawabs), Uttar Pradesh, India. I have been using LINUX since last 5 years (1 year in VM, 1.5 years in dual boot, 2.5 years as sole OS). Started from OpenSUSE, switched to Backtrack, Ubuntu, and Fedora.

Why did I switch to Arch?

1. No matter which distro I used, I had to consult Arch Wiki.
2. I prefer minimalistic stuff. The box should have just enough to get the job done. No bloatware accepted.
3. I wanted to learn ins and outs of LINUX.

By profession, I deal with information security stuff in general, and malware and crypto in particular.

I hope I will be learning something new almost everyday here.

Hello all,

After reading all about Arch's philosophy, style, and community, I've decided that it would be a good match for me. That being said, I've never used LINUX before so I look forward to the many challenges before me. That being said, I intend to be as little of a burden on this community as possible, eventually with the hopes of giving back in any way I can. I'm excited to be here and am thrilled to one day call Arch my home.

Sincerely,
realHuman

Hi folks. Frankly not much of a Linux fan, more of a BSD type. I've been using OpenBSD since about 2000. But I started with Slackware about 1995. Why am I here? Because Linux has a bigger userbase so when some non-opensource software gets released in binary form it's Windows, Mac, Linux. Kindlegen is a perfect example. And OpenBSD's Linux emulation is admittedly incomplete. I've used Debian a bit, had it running on a phone last. Interested in trying to do Android development. Right now I'd settle for getting adb working to root a couple phones.

Why Arch, because I heard it was the most bare-bones and most like OpenBSD. I care nothing about themes and fonts and colors. GUI stuff is nice I guess but 90% of the programming goes into just making the GUI work. fpc/lazarus is a nice effort, I've spent a lot of time in Delphi for my last job. I'm retired now. Mostly i386/586/686 lately, I've also got a Raspberry Pi.

My username ab1jx is my ham call but I'm not a very active ham. My real name is Alan Corey.

Oh, neat! I have OpenBSD installed on one of my partitions (next to Arch Linux and Haiku) in an attempt to learn more about it. It amazes me how similar and yet how incredibly different it is from Linux. I think my biggest hurdles were understanding the partitions (SOOO many partitions! Or slices, or whatever they were called) and then understanding the whole software installation / update process. But I certainly did appreciate the simplicity and cohesiveness of OpenBSD. Maybe I'll get it fully configured some day.

MrScoville · 2015-12-07 20:41:32

Hello there,

after having hard times to figure out the right tweaks to answer the registration question, here I am! :-)

My Linux history goes like this: Slackware, sent as a packet and on 12 3 1/2" floppies... ^^, kind of not even being out of Pampers, like being proud of having CP/M 2.2 installed on a self-wired Z80H CPU-board at... *cough* 8 MHz... then moved to RedHat, then (kinda forced) to SuSE, then forgot about it at all because of the job that brought me into the gravity zone of the Evil Empire(TM) which at least I still find a not that bad place to be... But then came the sweet little Raspberry, and I remembered merry old vocational training times. Here I am, and perhaps I got too old to solve simple riddles. I will post the questions in the appropriate threads.

Good times
-- Carsten

kakosf · 2015-12-07 21:21:44

Hello everyone,

I am Kyriakos or just kakosf, I am from Greece and I have lately become a huge fan of ARCH. I am a PhD student with the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications here in Athens, and one of my interests is playing with computers despite the fact that is not actually my expertise. My experience on linux goes many years before, I actually have tried almost all distributions started with more user-friendly like UBUNTU. Currently I am using ARCH as my primary OS on my personal laptop and also on my desktop machine at University. I am very happy of being part of this great community. That's all about me.
Best
Kyriakos

Hi gus, just a quick question: You do know this is the Arch forum and not the ArchBang forum, right?

Other than that: Welcome everyone!

gex92IT · 2015-12-19 11:17:39

Hello everyone,

I use a long time Ubuntu, Linux mint and more derivatives of Debian, Fedora, PC Linux OS, never Arch Linux. I'm looking for answer and I hope to find here . Sorry for my bad english.

sleepy_cat · 2015-12-20 14:09:10

CQ, CQ, this is W9GFO. Is anybody out there?
--------------------------------------------
hi guys. i'm sleep_cat from China. actually,
i began to use Arch since 151207, only a week from now.
but it deeply attracted me, which i prepare to
use it for a long time.

and as a newbie, it's freely to ask question which is stupid.
but i also hope you can be kind.
finally, share a principle as i believed, which is
Keep It Simple and Stupid, e.g. the KISS Principle.

alois · 2015-12-20 14:09:43

Hi !

My name is alois. I am a french leaving in India. In the past I used debian-based distro (ubuntu, trisquel, mint, etc.), fedora and opensuse. I already tried "quickly" archlinux via manjaro. Now, I switch to a full archlinux from scratch. I created a manjaro liveCD and from this I made a persistent archlinux distro thanks to the wiki. During my linux journey, I used gnome-shell, kde, unity, fluxbox, xfce and with this new distro I left the floating paradigm in favor of the tiling env with i3 (I may run i3-gaps later).

As a C# dev I am mostly on windows, but I love linux. You can see my contributions on GitHub and later my dotfiles too.

Thanks mikkl for the first archlinux introduction and grenadingue for the help.

Well, Hello Everyone !
