Re: The Official Hello Everyone Thread

Hi, I'm Isaac, I am 13. I use Arch on QEMU with MSYS2 on Windows 11 . I am in 7th grade. I did manage to install Linux Mint on my school computer in 6th grade, but got in a lot of trouble, so I decided not to screw up my computer this year. I am currently working on creating my own Linux distro for raspberry pi. I am using a Lenovo yoga. I want to get Arch for my computer now but can't, so I stick with qemu. I am also working on memorizing a default installation of arch linux without archinstall.

Hello! I'm Ena. 21yo, from Brazil.

Using Arch for the first time when I was 13 years old was my first experience with Linux. It felt amazing... but Windows messed up everything, and I didn't know how to troubleshoot GRUB/dual boot, so I gave up. I've been tolerating Windows since. But a few weeks ago I noticed that most of the apps on my PC aren't windows-exclusive and I was hating it more and more lol. This time I decided to install Linux on a separate SSD. I tried Fedora, but eventually I got my hands on Arch (again)---but selected the wrong SSD and wiped Windows accidentally... but that prob doesn't matter because I only noticed now haha.

I do not work/study IT. Did CS for a few months, but wasn't my thing. I'm an artist, but a SUPER tech savvy one. Like, I started learning C and C++ around 12yo (not the best idea) and I visided PUC-Rio (where Lua was created) and it's just part of me now. Besides that, I'm super into art, any kind of art. A master binger, you could say.

Also, nice to have "ena" as a username haha.

Thanks c:

Hello everyone,

I've used Linux for a long time, trying out various distributions: Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, and finally Arch Linux, which has been the best for me.

hi everyone!!!! new-ish arch user here (started using it around late last year) & i'm currently getting used to it after being a Debian user for awhile! note that i'm not always there mentally and i haven't really had much time to explore the docs, so i might not fully understand everything related to the weird system stuff... ૮╥﹏╥ა

Hello Everyone,

I am a high school sophomore. I've been using Arch ever since last December, and I got it because my friend told me how good and customizable it is. I've been using Arch Linux to boost my productivity and to gain a strong foundation in Linux in order to be good at cybersecurity.

Happy 1-month anniversary of when Fedora decided to lock all of the users out of the sudoers group and corrupted all passwords (including the root password). Panic-switched to Arch the same day.

Hi everyone! Just make this account today. Hope I will have a great time here!
(Have I mentioned that I use Arch, btw?)

heya, i am sanker from Colombia (south america lol)

i have been using arch for 2 months now (since november 28, 2025) and it has been quite delightful, at the moment i have barely ran into any problem that could not be resolved at all, through trial and error; but they had a solution in the end, i think its pretty nice
