Hi Team, braciszekodd from Poland. I am using Linux as a hobby since 2005 (many distros), but I am not connected with IT branch. Now I’m happy with Mabox.

Hi @napcok. I am in the United States. I have been using Linux for about the same years as you. I started on Red Hat 5. What did you start out with?

Hi Mabox user.
I also come from Poland. I started my adventure with Madrive, Ubuntu. Then I encountered the Manajro and met a napcok, which showed me its distribution.
To this day, I think openbox is the best window manager.

For me, the first was also RedHat Linux version 5.1 or 5.2. Installed from a CD from some Polish Linux magazine. Those were days / months of great excitement and slow learning of Linux basics :slight_smile:

Wow that sounds so similar to me lol. In 1999 I bought a book “Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours” by Bill Ball and it included Red Hat 5.1 cd in the back of the book.

Also ran Redhat 5.2 with kde 1.1 lol in those times. Hola a tod@s, I am a Spanish and English speaker from Latin America, Chile. I have also been a Manjaro user for 5 years …and I am giving your amazing distro a kinda Spanish look & feel for the menu at this moment… Thanks for this MaboxLinux distro :slight_smile:

Hello everyone, I come from Poland, but for over 10 years I have been living permanently in France (Mountains of the Central Massif). I have been using Linux since 2002 (SuSe, Mandriva, Debian, ROSA, Ubuntu, Manjaro) - I finally switched to MaboxLinux from half a year ago. And I will probably stay with him for a long time. I am an IT specialist by profession (in Poland). In exile, he was a “man for everything” and “computer technician”. I greet you.

Where have you been all my life…
I gotta start off by staying i f’n love mabox! i started using linux less than a year ago and found and tested regolith out for myself about a month ago. that was my first experience with a tiling WM and as i fell down the rabbit hole, ill admit slightly overwhelming at first but i was finally starting to realize the potential of possibilities, I kept digging and found "my"box. its very exciting better christmas imho but im not a kid and haven’t gotten a present in years…so to the developers/creators and community i say kudos & spanks u very much!!! i don’t fanboy(donate,sponsor,your face on a t-shirt) very often but ill be doing all that and more.
i started using windows 3.x back in the day of dialups and AOL where i learned to use napster, download warez and eventually get del-tree’d thinking i’d found a l337 prog lmao. then, at a snails pace (remember dialup) i picked up some html and dos experience. after a long hiatus involving getting my first car, girlfiend, son and daughter, etc etc, i built a pc from several old ones i collected over the years but by then win10 would just lock up my tiny proc/ram…long story started dabbling in linux and was once again excited & inspired by open free creativity. the internet feels like it once did, granted its more dangerous in evert sense of the word. i hope to get to know you guys and hopefully find some knowledge and friends. i digress…
hello to all btw, glad to be here (obviously). mind if we get to know each other how long have you been using mabox? what version did you start with? any useful tips for aspiring full stack developer? any advice for someone desperately wanting to get into IT profession with no certs or accreditation but quick wit and hungry af to find a job i could love instead of dread? im from US…texas actually (dont judge, trust i dont belong) im a carpenter/builder by profession. i dont really game anymore but still love progressive music and movies of all kinds as long as it has some substance. I am coming from a debian system but im familiar with RHEL/fedora, AUR. i enjoy clouding(is that a word…githubbing?) scrpting, designing but mostly learning now. i say thank you and glad to meet you, cant wait to get to know ya more. can i visit you in poland? lol jk…kinda

Hi. I am from Norway and started with linux in 1999. I bought SuSe Linux 6.1 in 1999 (yes you had to pay for it) and for years that was my distro of choice. Then Slackware and Mandriva. The last 5-6 years its been Arch, Manjaro and now Mabox. I think I’ll stay with Mabox :slight_smile: Thanks for the hard work making this distro :+1: It’s a no hassle distro for me. A little more work on mabox and I can give it to my grandmother and she will manage fine :grinning:

Maybe in the future Mabox with the LXDE will be helpful in this topic. I just started experimenting with it :wink:

Hi @Boxer

We have such a similar linux history!

I bought suse (I believe it was 6.1 or 6.2) and stayed with it for years. Then debian testing, sidux, and finally manjaro and now mabox…

Cheers!
