Looking for a normie KDE distro that works out of the box and is stable without issues.

          Why? Because after a series of negligent incidents spanning multiple years, a couple of which impacted the AUR for everyone they’ve gone a year and a bit without another major incident?

          Again, EndeavourOS exists – all Manjaro does for you is hold back packages making things unstable.

            • Debian, Slackware, and Ubuntu are not Arch-based, so of course they’re not relevant.

              Obviously Arch is relevant, but it’s more difficult to install without a GUI installer. Enter EndeavourOS.

              If you’re not using Manjaro to get “Arch with a graphical installer” then… what are you using it for?

              • I’m using it as a linux distro, which I then use to do things on my computer that I actually want to do like work and play games and browse the internet! I used the installer once and I seem to recall it was fine (though I’m not keen on the tepid green they chose as a colour scheme).

                What do you use your computer for?

                • I’m obviously not asking what you do on a computer.

                  Did Manjaro magically install itself on your computer one day? Or did you choose it from a selection of dozens of other distributions that can do everything you described above?

                  • I chose it because, as I said, Manjaro and SuSE Tumbleweed were the two KDE-focused rolling release distros of which I was aware (not KDE as an afterthought like Fedora or Kubuntu) , and SuSE didn’t want to install that day. I’m honestly not sure why we’re even still having this argument!
