I am currently using EndeavourOS, but am annoyed by the constant daily updates of 1GB and pacman not installing important dependencies automatically (ex: spell checker for document editor). I like the way Fedora works: you update whenever, important dependencies are downloaded automatically, and packages are recent-ish, but I don’t like that it takes forever to run dnf. I don’t want to use Manjaro (apparently it breaks quickly?), and the distro needs to support KDE. I know about Flatpak, but I don’t want to download 1GB of data for each app. Are there any good options?
(Yes, I can probably deal with Fedora, but dnf is slower than apt, and I don’t want to deal with external repositories for non-free software.)
EDIT: I do not want to tweak or edit configuration files, I just need something that has up to date packages and “just works”.
That’s because Arch is all about user control, and they want you to pick which optional ones you want. I agree though that it would be useful to have a flag that just installed everything.
That’s a bad idea, even going back to his question, he wants spell checker, should it install every single language? It’s likely a bad idea to do that, you’ll get a lot of things you don’t need. Not to mention optional dependencies might contradict each-other if several of them perform the same service, e.g. video playback backend
Yeah, I think what they really want is an installer. Pop!_OS is a pretty great option. I’ve never had issues with their Pop! Shop.
