I fixed the installation (not really), I restarted the installation, same "error", but it was just that I had to configure the WiFi connection again, and that was it, I now enjoy my new Arch Linux user life and my old PC enjoys a lightweight distro.

Hello Everyone, I'm a new arch user, btw

I first started with linux back in 2005-6 ripping live CDs of different distros and trying them out. Have been fascinated with computers and linux ever since I was a kid. Just got around to installing arch on a virtual machine, testing the waters before installing it on a real box.

Will be switching my main daily driver laptop to arch soon. Looking forward to being part of the community.

Hello Everyone! I'm a new linux and arch user! All my life I used windows or macOS and Linux feels like a breath of fresh air, compared to windows. Trying to learn some things and I'm happy to join to this community!

Hi Everyone! I got into Linux generally back in ~'20-'21 when like everyone else I decided to build a pc. It was a big step being not-tech-savvy and had to learn a lot. For the os, I was gonna just go with Windows, but since I had come so far learning about computer hardware, I decided I'd make the jump into Linux.

I started with Ubuntu of course, learning and struggling along the way. I soon heard about the other distros and knew I'd have to graduate up at some point. Arch seemed the most natural. I was able to pick up installing Arch quickly but never quite got down Pacman and System Maintenance and never got to a point of being able to daily drive, my installs just becoming stale and falling apart. But this year I was taking some programming classes. It inspired me to finally RTFM when they ended and everything started to click. (Learn my lesson, kids.)

I set up my current install last week and everything's been going almost as well as can be hoped. Some hiccups but so much better than previous unsuccessful ones. Just made a forum account and thought I'd say hi!

used fedora / manjaro for years, but now using arch. just got rid of my last windows install. very refreshing to be linux-only now. <3

ArchieBirds · 2024-06-04 16:32:19

Hallo

I started using Arch Linux about a couple weeks ago or so :3

It's been pretty fun so far, Linux is so cool.

Over the course of the past few months this Linux journey has been so fun, it's fun using my COMPUTER again :D

I sunk the hatchet in windows 11, its buried deep in the back yard...

Hello

I had a few attempts at getting a successful install, the last one I used grub and for some reason the propriety nvidia drivers actually worked so here I am. Feels good.

I'd like to thank all the maintainers and people who make things like Arch linux a reality. I feel much less bloated.

The real good times are still ahead

ThaCheeseBun · 2024-06-06 13:56:58

Yoyoyo

Finally installed arch after the recent good news about the nvidia beta drivers and the bad news about recall. Been great so far

Coming from managing debian servers it's a bit different but still linux afterall.

yxcv · 2024-06-06 15:00:34

The success of debian: Not all modern thingies and "you-must-have" nonsence are immediatly there, those who must have them are sent to *buntu and tested there, also those who allways follow everybody. So, well then and here at archie the curious ideas also are sorted out. Perfect!

Kalinovka · 2024-06-06 18:10:14

Hello everybody!

I'm very new, I just switched to ArchLinux on my laptop, as I just couldn't take the pain of MacOS anymore. Once my install is finished I'll hopefully try and start learning Rust!

I'm looking forward to a bloatless install

Hello all! I'm pretty new to linux and started off with Arch; been having fun so far but still learning a ton!

eternaljade · 2024-06-10 06:05:02

just popped a clean install on my main pc, leaving my little mark on the world here

focaccia · 2024-06-11 14:28:55

Hello guys,
After a few weeks of pain, going from Windows to Arch I have finally made the transition.
Happy to finally be freed from mainstream blood sucking corporations.

TransvestiteInfestite · 2024-06-11 14:31:33

Hey, I'm a newbie to arch... I'm a pretty good programmer, and i saw that this distro has a MASSIVE trans community, perfect for me.. I used to use manjaro, but i know how bad it is and i'm prepared to become a master arch user!! #pridemonth!

OneNemo · 2024-06-12 15:13:51

Hello, I have been on `nix systems since 1998 when I installed Debian from a CD that came with Boot Magazine (currently Wired). I was on a dial up connection and downloading a distro was painful to say the least as a base system could take all day or more (literally). Ever since my first Gnu/Linux experience I could never take MS Windows (DOS) seriously again. Though modern incarnations (Windows) are usable they just do not meet my needs. I have, since then, used many distros though Fedora has always been a favorite, despite how many times an update has crashed my system , I like the way Fedora tries to stay bleeding edge. For a while now I have been considering checking out Arch Gnu/Linux. I love the way you build up the system from a bare minimal install so you only get what you want not what someone else decided for you.

I installed Arch to a SATA NVMe drive that I have installed in a usb enclosure. I wanted to test on bare metal not a VM. VM tests are never quite fair anyway as you inherit all the flaws of the host system. So far the experience has been great. I am still using Fedora 40 though I may migrate completely to Arch soon. Though this post was made booted on Arch . I love how complete the installation Guide wiki is.

Great job maintaining the Distro!

Good afternoon,
I am also new to arch, as I know that the support for windows 10 is running out in 2025 and windows 11 is a real pain.... I need to explore new horizons . And I am willing to change my laptops and desktops to linux.
I am testing several linux distributions out for about 1 year. I want to get a feeling for the different flavors.
For about 6 Months I am testing out (I am not currently working on the systems, only playing around and trying to set everything up and understanding how it works) debian as a base and trying out different desktops. I finally landed on the CB++ distro, which is in my opinion the best suited for me. I like minimalistic desktops and hate desktop icons . The only thing that I don't like on debian is, that it is not a rolling release. I don't know why, but in my head it is wrong not to use a rolling release, even if it may brake things when updating (which I have read many times in the forums ). My knowledge is limited in linux, but I am learning and understanding fast.
I am now running a base arch installation with the bare minimum of openbox. All I can say is... let the adventure begin
