Hmm, perhaps a little more about me then.
Grew up in London, worked in IT for around 20 years, Microsoft qualifications etc. then moved to the Isle of Man 11 years ago (I'm 54 btw, not quite a silver surfer but getting therelol) Tried Linux way back in the 1990's, but decided that life was too short to try and figure out how to get it working and apps installed.
Had always used Windows until about 5 years ago, when I decided I didn't like being told by Microsoft that I had to use their browser. So started looking (again) at Linux.
Tried a few distros on VM, until finding Ubuntu. It all just worked. Started with dual boot with Windows just in case, but didn't use it for 6 months so moved completely to Linux.
Switched to a couple of other .deb based distros but stuck with Ubuntu until Unity

really awful, so went to Xubuntu, and loved the XFCE DE.
Have been trying various others, mainly on VM including Arch, but wanted something that installed and worked easily, but would give scope for learning more about Linux (also was stable which *buntu seems to loose every new release)
Found Manjaro on Distrowatch, tried it and wow, completely blown away by it. Now have it on my laptop as sole distro, still trying to get my head around samba so I can finally get rid of Xubuntu on my desktop. Uphill struggle, but Manjaro has sparked the interest to get it done.
And should anyone wanna pm me, I'll be only too happy to chat

Oh, and finally, a BIG thank you to the dev team. Manjaro is the distro that is setting the standard for others to follow, it absolutely rocks
