New guy!

(i hope this is the right subsection of the relevant section… too old for these modern forum designs; sorry)

Thought i’d say hi really, a very novel concept i know. So i’m the new guy! Not like the joke though, ain’t named Achmed. It is my first time though.

Came across L1 as i was doing my ‘research’ for Linux, time has come for this old fart to finally, amen to that, say goodbye to Windows; and so long. Am mentioning this as i’m thankful for the content provided, forums included. Some pretty helpful guides around here.
And also how i found you folks :slight_smile:

That’s about it, y’all have a good one.

No need, already set on that :slight_smile:
Twofold process:

  • Start with Mint, fail fail fail, read read read, fail some more.
  • Eventually go Arch; more fails.

I can be humble, lol…

If you want a distro that actually works, try insert users favorite distro here. You might like it.

One way or another, welcome and enjoy!

Thank you :sunglasses:

Likewise to everyone else by the way, i’m not sure if i can multi-quote here and i don’t wish to spam with multiple posts.

As long as you’re not quoting for the sake of spam, we’re fine with quoting whatever.

This thread covers most of the functionality you’ll need to be proficient with this forum.

I’ll need to update it.

@Aenra highlight text and youll get an option to quote, you can do it multiple times in a topic. you can also quote text from other topics and then cut the text (and cancel the reply) then paste the quote where you wanted to reply it links back to the persons post.

Also, hi. :wave:
