Henlo!

~maholmire

Hey there,

I'm a normie and Arch enthusiast that happened upon this quiet spot on the little internet. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to write and submit my post from Gemini as the link to register would redirect me here so on https it must go.

After becoming more engrossed in technology I've noticed some of the more stereotypically nerdy folk populating the same spaces as I do. Most seem to be a lot older, I myself am in my twenties. Just curious whether there is anyone else out there like myself in such a fringe place as this.

Look forward to hearing your replies.

I'm also into writing, roleplaying games, Linux, the old internet, and obscure corners of the Internet like this one. I'm somewhat more of a normie than you are since I use Linux Mint :p

If you chat on Matrix I can send you an invite to my group chat. There's also the Midnight Pub's Matrix room.

I'm in my late twenties also (if that's what you meant by 'anyone else there like me'). I've been here about a week now and I really enjoy the quiet ambience about this place. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Bartender please pour the finest drink to our newcomer.

Howdy!

My age is somewhere between two and three times yours depending on where you are in said decade.

Searched on "normie and Arch", and wound up laughing frequently at content here:

Distro mattered much more to me at your age, as did installing it myself. But these days I'm happy augmenting whatever Linux a Chromebook's "Terminal" app brings me - *after* installing tmux, of course....

Howdy, mate! Have a seat, ~bartender will serve pretty much anything --- he must have an infinite cupboard somewhere, just amazing!

~bartender? A coffee, please, and a stout after that. It's pretty windy outside, and cold. The dust storm has made way to more chilly air masses, or so it seems. And anything ~maholmire pleases on me!

Well, this is a chill place, with low light, music box and a small, furry creature called Smudge. I had to pick him off the cupboard the other day, lol! But, tell me, how did you find the small back alley? And did you stumble into that odd looking computer store around the corner? Or something else? And what is the country like that you have traveled?

Cheers!
