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

    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!

        So then by now you should have a better understanding of why Manjaro has a bad reputation, and why EndeavourOS is a better recommendation.

        Which was the point of this “argument” in the first place.

          Not really, no. You’ve told me why you think Manjaro is bad, but all you’ve told me about Endeavour is that it’s a) better than Manajro for unspecified reasons, and b) it;s Arch with a nicer installer yet somehow doesn’t have any of the problems you accuse Manjaro of, despite you claiming (for again unspecified reasons) that is the prime reason for choosing Manjaro as well

            I actually have mentioned all that, but let me summarize it for you:

            Both are Arch-based, but have an easy to use graphical installer.

            Manjaro holds back packages for 2 weeks from the Arch repos. That causes stability and security issues. The maintainers have also demonstrated a clear pattern of negligence that impacts the whole Arch ecosystem.

            EndeavourOS does not hold back packages. They also haven’t broken the AUR twice.

            That’s it. Should be pretty clear why EndeavourOS is the better recommendation.

              Again you seem to think the only point of Manajro or Endeavour are to make it easier to install Arch. Plus you have offered no reason to use Endeavour over Arch

              Please note I have not noticed stability or security issues to a greater degree than I have on any other distro that isn’t ultra-stable (e.g. Debian Stable)

                It is.

                Yes I did – it has a GUI installer. That’s the only reason.

                Please note I have not noticed stability or security issues to a greater degree than I have on any other distro that isn’t ultra-stable (e.g. Debian Stable)

                Good for you?

                  Right, I’m done. I can’t be bothered to argue with this level of absolute mind-numbing stupidity any more. Please never say anything to anyone ever again.

                    Bahahaha.

                    Manjaro fanboys really are something else.

                    What else would they possibly be for if not installing Arch with a GUI?
