So I’ve been iso live testing Manjaro KDE Plasma lately and it looks very polished.

On the other hand, there is a negative vibe towards it.

Why the hate?

    I’ve had it break many times during update. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it at first, but if you want a system that works after update, you’re probably better checking elsewhere. Linux Mint, and Kubuntu are far better simplicity wise. Open Suse or Arch if you want rolling updates.

    I used Manjaro for about 3 years

    Its great but packages tend to break over time with it being a “stable” arch build

    Over that 3 year period updates managed to break my install at least 30 times

    Switched to Endeavour over a year ago and haven’t had an update break my install yet

    The real question is, why are you considering Manjaro in the first place? What does it do that a different distro, without all the hate (which I personally think are 100% justified), doesn’t do? Why “risk” it?

      I’m an openSuse user for quite some time without any issues tbh. Just wanted to enter the Arch world and see if there is any significant difference.

        Then literally just use Arch. I don’t understand why people want Arch but then install something different. If you don’t want to go through the install process then it’s honestly just not for you, but if you really want to try anyway give EndeavourOS a shot.
