Welcome, be aware that while you are free to read and participate in topics like this one, that we won't be able to help you should a technical support question come up that isn't reproducible on normal Arch Linux

Hi everyone! I'm stacked with Arch Linux for a while and not considering to distro hop. Arch Wiki is a gift from heaven, lol

Hello!

I'm from Kerala and I started using Arch two years ago. I was using Ubuntu before that. I have tried a couple of distros after that, including Parabola, but I came back to Arch soon.
I created an account here yesterday, so here I am!

Hi, I've been using gnu/linux for about 2 years. Always going from one system to another, I had never found anything that made me want to stay, until I found Arch. It was love at first sight.

Hello!

I'm roughly two years into using various Linux distros on my laptop an desktop computers - still a total newbie though!

Arch is the one I've been working with most, it's pretty great on my 10 year old desktop with an i5 and 8gb RAM.

Cheers all!

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hey there! I'm Hamblingreen and I'm from the USA. I'm new to Arch and Linux in general, although I've been obsessed with FOSS basically since Covid began. I'm running Arch under WSL (while im saving up for my own PC, then I'll run it natively), while also learning Vim, Dvorak, and C++. The reason I'm doing all this so fast is because I am patiently awaiting my very own PineTime smartwatch by Pine64. And yes I know that although it doesn't run Linux, it's still a great practical use for C++.

Thanks! -Hamblingreen

P.S. Is ArchWSL allowed on this forum? I didn't this time, but what if I compile it from the source code rather than yuk7's repo? Is that allowed? Let me know!

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hi all! I've started encountering various linux systems (mostly Ubuntu) at work, but Arch Linux appealed to me because of its flexibility and because learning how to use it would teach me so much about linux in general. I'm using lxqt. I've had it for one day, so here goes!

Hello, fellow archers! I'm from Croatia and have been using Arch for quite some time now and have only been lurking this forum up to this point.

I've decided to get out of the closet, and admit to everyone: yep, I'm using Arch.

Funny, that with the Windows 11 announcement I started to make a hard switch on my notebook which I use here and there for simple stuff from windows to linux. And with the Arch choice I want to get more expeirence with Linux and also want to refresh my knwoledge. So hello everyone!

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hello all, new here as well.  I just installed Arch Linux for the first time this week. The one thing I enjoyed about getting Arch Linux working from other dirstos I have tried is it forces you to understand what is happening at each step, which makes you better understand your system.   I will say I don't fully understand everything, but that is the adventure.

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hello everyone,

I am slowly switching to Linux, on every machine I own, for ethical and philosophical reason. Beforehand I was a Windows user, because that's what I was introduced to at home when I was younger. It's been years that I was delaying my leaving of the Windows ship, because I was lazy to learn how to use linux. Thanks to Ubuntu I had a smooth introduction to using a Unix-like core and now I'm switching a few computer to Arch since I want to learn more. And I feel like Arch is made to make you face problem and dig into it until you learn a lot about everything. All this thanks to the amazing wiki and forum.
Thanks to the archinstall script I was able to install without any trouble Arch on many machine. Although I have to admit that I'm  a noob and never was able to successfully manually install it on a old pc.
Hopefully soon enough I'll be well versed enough in IT and Linux to start developing and contributing.

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hi All,
Been using Linux for a bit over 20 years now and finally decided to install Arch 6 months ago. Glad I did as it finally made me drop windows for good and don't think I will be distro hopping again for quite some time.

Hi everyone from Atlantic Canada!

I've been distrohopping for years and finally decided on comitting to Arch. 'Bout time to learn more about Linux and understand more about how it all works. A good way to practice patience too.

Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hi everyone. Newbie to Arch as well. I used Ubuntu a few years ago until the Package Manager broke and I couldn't fix it. I then decided to switch back to Windows. Now that I got a new laptop I'm giving Linux another go and soon going to go into the deep-end to try to install Arch on my laptop for the third time.(The first two failed, the first due to fstab misconfigurations it seems and the second due to some Grub issue that prevented the laptop from recognizing the operating system.)
