Glad to be here.

Hello everyone,
Installed Archlinux few days ago taking advantage of some rest for the Easter holidays. It's a brave new world for me. The enthusiasm of the old days is coming back strongly. This distro seems a great learning opportunity for me. Hope to find soon some way to give back to this community.

Thank you for the great documentation provided.

Hi all, have been using Arch for a few years already, but so far have always been able to solve my own problems thanks to the amazing wiki! Finally got around to registering since this time an issue has me stumped.

Love Arch and the control it gives!

blixys · 2024-04-08 00:26:50

after months of distro hopping, i've bit the bullet and installed arch onto my main pc. glad to be here!

Hi, I've been using Linux for over a year as my primary operating systems. I like what Arch Linux has done. It is the best operating system for me so far. It's been a challenge to make friends with it, but it's worth it.

stay_lion · 2024-04-10 16:58:18

Hi everyone. I finally decided arch linux was the distro for me because of the control it gives you, as well as what looks to be a great community of people that want to help each other. I recently pivoted careers from pharmaceutical sciences to software development. In my free time I like to make music, and I'm hoping to be able to link that with my career. I seem to have a knack for finding bugs so I'll be on here a lot for sure haha

Merging with the hello thread

YuvrajSingh15 · 2024-04-10 19:19:43

Hello fellow Arch Users,
I have put Arch on dual boot with windows 10. I don't like windows 11 and Microsoft to end support for windows 10. I want to build a custom Distro for myself by that time to use as main OS. I want to learn by contributing to Arch and open source. I really like its philosophy and use many likes syncthing , bitwarden.
I hope to learn from the community.

too-young · 2024-04-12 06:18:39

Hello Archers,

I've only been Arch for a few days, But Arch is so coooooooooooooooooool!!!

UristPenguin · 2024-04-12 08:58:09

Hi everyone!
After 3 days of pain trying to use the archinstall script I was finally able to install Arch using the manual steps, my attempt number 8 succeeded!

Happy to be here!

FR8TRAIN · 2024-04-12 11:26:12

Hello everyone. Glad to be here. I've been distro hopping for awhile and I kept coming back to some flavor of Arch. So I thought, might as well jump in all the way and REALLY learn Linux. This forum has been a great resource for me so why not join.

llionesista · 2024-04-13 14:27:20

Hello to all the Arch community. Grateful to be able to test and learn for the first time with this magnificent distribution. Best regards

Hello, World!

30 year IBM mainframe programmer. Tried linux a few times, the first back in the day when you downloaded 1.0.8 from unc.edu (113 3.5 discs if I remember right). Now that I'm semi-retired I figured it was time to learn this stuff. Been a couple of decades since I've written any c/c++ but I can still read it and hope that I can contribute to making this a slightly better place. Kind of lost but I did install Arch, had to pick the 'hardest', got network working, email working, even paid a bill of two on my new favorite laptop.

So: Hello, World! Please be kind.

Now I don't know what to do.... I upgraded the SSD to 1TB, memory to 32GB, got sound working (was so happy I didn't notice it wasn't working), read a bunch of forum posts, and the ONLY thing I miss about windows is solitaire... now I have no idea what to do. Any advice?

If i recall correctly KDE and GNOME Solitaire / Solitaire-like games in their meta packages. Give them a look

sup
been using linux for about one year now, recently switched to arch because my last system just wasn't cutting it and it's been great so far
between the wiki, the packages and the community arch is the best

sliman · 2024-04-24 04:29:41

Just want to say Hello and Thx!!!!

Best Linux Distro. Wished to try it earlier.

Build current my Arch, pkg by pkg.

Learning much more about Linux and Kernel than ever before by only using man pages or gnu docs, archwiki, readthedocs in lynx.

In debian and other preconfigured fancy OSes it was never nessessary to use my brain and understand the lower mechanics of kernel and fs.

Pacstrap is awesome. Optimal for try and error building minimal system.

Maritosu · 2024-04-26 07:44:48

hi guys im maritosu i live in ukraine im some random guy who does random things i used computers when i was 8 those were times before windows 8 or 10 was a good thing but windows became a bloatware so i decided to dualboot linux and try distros my journey to linux started way back in middle 2023 when windows 10 seemed like a bloatware so my first distro was linux mint! i liked it for easing intuivitienes but it had problems like wine not working correctly and its de being bloated so then i had to distrohop to fedora same thing aswell but then i decided to use ubuntu i heard it has snaps which is slow so no then i tried manjaro a arch linux distro and so it had problems aswell same for endavaouros it had problems when intel mesa drivers were not working well and so one day....

i just had to finally to switch to my alongwaited distro archlinux! i installed arch linux with archinstall im a no linux pro currently but i just love ARCH! it has some greatest package manager of all time and its prefix is simple vim included! and is the probably most best liux ever live forever archlinnux!

Hi everyone,

I am Chane, a graduate student in engineering physics. I recently purchased a new laptop (a Framework 16). It will be my daily driver and I want to give Arch a try, despite having only a little experience with GNU/Linux in general.

I have managed to get a basic install of Arch on it and have already learnt a lot in the process. However, I am still a bit confused about some aspects and features of Arch, and I would like to make my installation more robust and convenient. This is why I have registered on the forum, hoping to get some answers and keep learning.

Glad to be here!
