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 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

      Wow. 30 times in 3 years? I wonder if that’s specific packages or hardware you had. I had 5 computers (2 desktops, 3 laptops) running Manjaro for so many years, and still haven’t had a single system break. Including using a lot of AUR packages.

      Though last year, I’ve moved all of my computers to Arch, Debian, and Proxmox. Arch mainly because I wanted to fully configure my systems more.
