I’m currently looking for a new OS, coming from KDE neon and I like it, but the fact I have to FUCKING restart because someone decided to push an OS update that broke my previous install, now the OS freezes my whole PC (never did before!) and I have to restart.

I’m looking for good apps support so Debian? Idk Using it for daily usage (Android/games development) and gaming.

I’m also looking for:

  • Wobbly windows (yes useless but cool lol)
  • Good customization
  • KDE connect support (a must)
  • Krunner or equivalent (MacOS like search)
  • Idk?

Thank you!

    Because I’m used to Debian and the features listed? Krunner, Wobbly windows (useless but heh), full KDE connect support

      Krunner, wobbly windows and KDE connect are features of KDE Plasma, not Debian. You can install KDE plasma on arch and use all of the things you listed. Arch also has good app support through the AUR. Plus the wiki is called the Linux bible for a reason

        I know. I’m also used to install package with apt

        Is there an arch based distro with KDE support?

          EndeavourOS is Arch with an installer and a few utilities. You can install offline and it will use KDE or you can install online and choose KDE. The major difference is whether you need to update after installing.

            I can also recommend EndeavorOS, mostly seamless install even with a Nvidia Optimus GPU (well that one took a bit of research on what to install exactly, not that it’s easier on other distros)

            From all the ones I tried EndeavourOS is the one I liked the most but it doesn’t have apt but yum so I have to learn from 0 and it doesn’t have Plasma’s discover. I tried to install jellyfin package but couldn’t find it in my installed apps and I could only run it through command

              Endeavor uses yay and has tons of software. The only other package manager I knew before was apt, but learning yay is super easy. Yay by itself is like apt update; apt upgrade, yay package to search for and install a package, yay -Rns package to remove.

                I kinda like it, my only “problem” is: It’s not Debian so it’s not just install a deb file and that’s it, most of the programs I install have only a deb file or flatpak and for the latter I have to make my own shortcut (annoying)

                  I have yet to find something that has a deb or flatpak available and isn’t on the AUR.

            what’s the difference between endeavour and arch with archinstall btw? do they use different repos?

              It’s basically Arch with a familiar installer and an extra repo for their system maintenance tools. Also the community is friendlier.

          i mean arch supports kde?

          you can even have the automatic arch installer ($ archinstall in the live usb) set up a kde environment just like in the debian netinstaller
