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

      Why? Because after a series of negligent incidents spanning multiple years, a couple of which impacted the AUR for everyone they’ve gone a year and a bit without another major incident?

      Again, EndeavourOS exists – all Manjaro does for you is hold back packages making things unstable.

          Debian, Slackware, and Ubuntu are not Arch-based, so of course they’re not relevant.

          Obviously Arch is relevant, but it’s more difficult to install without a GUI installer. Enter EndeavourOS.

          If you’re not using Manjaro to get “Arch with a graphical installer” then… what are you using it for?

            I’m using it as a linux distro, which I then use to do things on my computer that I actually want to do like work and play games and browse the internet! I used the installer once and I seem to recall it was fine (though I’m not keen on the tepid green they chose as a colour scheme).

            What do you use your computer for?

              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
