Welcome from another Arch Linux newbie. Though I haven't yet looked at your link, I too, have Arch installed on a couple of USB flash drives. Assuming you mean a "thumb drive" or USB "stick". Also, I have Arch on an old PC and a laptop.

My first USB install was on a 2.0 thumb drive. Curiosity led to installing on a 3.0 to use on a laptop which has a 3.0 port. I posted this thread, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=209158

It was a fun experiment. Arch works fine on both thumb drives, much faster on the 3.0

Arch is fun. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be here...

Thanks for the welcome Texbrew,
I'm very green at Linux but learning. Arch looks like an extremely powerful distro. I'm sure that I'm in WAY over my head.
This will be fun!

@kmartin,

Just stick to the Arch Wiki and forums and you should be good to go. Third party tutorials can get stale because of the rolling release nature of Arch.

Hello everyone.

I'm Nilson, from Brazil - São Paulo.

I'm using Linux since 2005. My first Distro was Kurumin Linux, made by Carlos Morimoto (It was discontinued in 2008).
cap1-08_html_m5eaddd1b.png.resized.jpg
Kurumin was one of the first newbie Distros, was based on Knnopix and was live CD and have a bunch of stuff "out of box" tools to help new users.

After this I used Ubuntu, Mandriva, Suse, Fedora... and Ubuntu derivations like Mint and Elementary. I have been stick with Ubuntu/Mint for the last few years. But after the last releases of the LTS, especially the last one 16.04 (totally crap), I give up and give a Arch one more try.

I had already experienced Arch a few months ago, but just for couple days.

Now I come back to Arch and everything was fine so far.

Basically I'm a noob on Arch but I've been using Linux for a least 10 years, and I registered here because I believe the community should help eachother, to change experience and help with what I can, even with my broken english

Greetings from sunny Russia!! ))) I apologize in advance for my terrible English

My primary soft for work based on Windows, and I'm ingrained windows-user, but I've long intrested in *nix, especially for desktop using for home and maybe pro.
With a view to gain knowledge I tried to FreeBSD, but that expierence was too unhuman)))
Now I decided to stay on Arch Linux - I was very impressed of it! I like to customize everything in my own way, I don't afraid of complexity, I like latest versions of soft, drivers etc, and this OS in my opinion is the best choice for me.

Wish me luck in my difficult hobby!

Hello. I'm Simon from the UK. I've been using linux since 2008, mostly the Ubuntu flavours and briefly Mint and Fedora. I don't work in IT but I'm starting to enjoy learning about the inner workings of an OS. My Arch has XFCE4.

Greetings from the other side of the world (Texas, USA).

I am not a believer in luck, but OK, good luck! It gets easier as you go, so keep going.

Welcome to the forum - from another newbie.

Welcome!

Learning the inner workings is probably as much fun as simply using it.

Greetings, all!

Arch Linux is my abusive relationship. It beats me and make me cry, but I keep coming back, again, and again, and again...

vicarious_cm · 2016-05-05 04:17:41

Ello everybody. Installed Arch couple of days ago.

Jumped from LXDE to Cinnamon to XFCE

Hello, world!

Programming jokes aside, I'm not exactly new to arch (though I haven't exactly used it for years, either), but I'm new to the forums.

Switched a while back from Ubuntu/Windows dual-boot (windows was rather... stale at that point) to completely Arch, been loving it ever since.

Using the xfce DE and doing all my gaming with steam (and wine, though I'd prefer to not use that...)

More recently. I've been running a VPS w/ arch installed on it. I've had fewer problems with it than with CentOS, though that's really not saying much...

Anyway, I'm not having any problems, so I figured I'd register when I wasn't having problems, so that I can say I didn't just join because I was having problems.

zoeid · 2016-05-06 13:15:57

helllo everyone, from Italy, at this time I wrote I am 21.. and I would like to have a proper introducemyself post.. so let's have some word

I am registred to the Italian forum since 2010, but NEVER had the motivation to register here just because I can find all my problem EVERY always in this forum, so sincerely I'm not felling new..
I got in in Linux at 2007/2008 with Blacktrack just for hacking wifi I admit.. (im feeling bad for that)
but with time I switched to many distros.. until I got in Arch a long time ago, in 2010 ad seriosly got nice question..
I think Arch is the best Linux experience, I understood a lot of things, just because I like modding and I got firstly fluxbox at time, then openbox and just some try, that completely fails with awesome, then got on wmii and finally i3wm (this is really good i3)... my desktop now is so basic.. nothing modded from i3wm config... when I'll mod something that has a reason to be posted I'll try to post some..

oh, during the Linux experience I also got in Hackintosh experience... but this is another story =P

In 2011 I got switched from a brand-new xmas-xbox to an used/new gaming pc (those specs was really good I got the amd way with an Phenom 1090t and a 6950) , I dont use Linux on my mainly platform just because I cant run certainly game, but as I see Valve is doing a BEATIFUL work on a lot of things, also I like playing CS1.6 on my old rig that I still use with Arch nowdays specs (pentiumD / 1gbram / 7300le)...
Recently I upgraded a lot on my gaming pc, got a new case, a 4690k and a R9-290 when at those time they beat the GTxTitan of cost of 1k2€, I also got watercooling part for cheap, nice part and got all watercooled in a nice case, I 'll not upgrade my gaming pc for a lot of time I think...
Thats the end... hope my English is good, (I talked with my second-cousin from australia via skype, they are from wollongon, hope one day I'll left EU... here in Italy, I got only fakejob called "stage/internships" for my age I would like to have a proper job! What about in your country? How is it? I have a "professional qualification" on electricman work.... how is it in other country?
BTW here we come, ahh I forgot my hobby except of gaming, lots of geek also here, I like building laser and ridingbike when I have time I run for 20/30km just for passion... Also i love the blue curacao liqueur xd

Welcome to Arch. I hope you enjoy using Arch.
Just curious, Why did you switch from Debian?

Thank you Texbrew.
Sure, I really enjoy using Arch, it's fantastic! In my opinion is simply the best rolling release.
I decided to switch because after many years passed on the same OS I needed something different and Arch was what I was looking for.
I can tell you that after the first installation I was so excited about Arch that I immediately installed it on all the other desktops.

Hello friends,

I started using Arch since last year, and it is simply amazing. In the beginning, I was little bit sceptical, as it is rolling release distro. But after installation, and after few days of tinkering, I don't think I can go back to any other linux based distro. Arch community is doing almost flawless job in maintaining the rolling release. Thank you guys for all your hard work. I'm glad to be part of this community and I will also start contributing to the community as per my capacity.

Resurrected an old Thinkpad as a backup when my Chromebook (running Ubuntu thru Crouton) kicked it. Had graphics issues w/Ubuntu, so decided to play around with Arch - actually, no, my spouse decided that I needed to learn different distros and forcibly installed Arch on the thing, heh. I'm a scientific database developer/data analyst in the American Midwest. Looking forward to breaking all the things!
