    You must state what system you run to get this experience… Are you a 'buntu user?

    extra/gimp 2.10.34-1 (20.3 MiB 113.4 MiB) (Installed)

    • NOT a single issue with this package since I installed GIMP via pacman some 6 years ago.

    I have no reason to install the bloated flatpak version.

    No reason at all.

    Haha this is stunning - that someone will choose something so they are not forced to use a terminal.

    Please tell us how you can install and use SearXNG, or Prowlarr, or Overseerr with your superb GUI tools?

    Let’s face it. For anyone who ever used and is knowledgable about Windows, we must admit that the road to make Linux really useable from GUI alone is a very long one (and one that most of us just get bored with).

    • You get comfortable in your old shoes.
    • Even when things SNAP.

    But when you put on a new pair of shoes, within a week or two, they become more comfortable than the old ones…

    Such is my journey from Ubuntu to Mint, and then over to Manjaro/Arch.

    I can’t say I tried Pop, because my initial aim was to hop from Debian and try out something new… and I just tossed a coin between Fedora and Manjaro at that time.

    YMMV

    I run Manjaro with KDE on X11… I use a lot of mouse gestures, so I can’t sit with Wayland.

    • I found the SYSTEM is extremely stable for ME. It is important to say this every time…

    • I find KDE is often less stable… I had at least 2 issues I couldn’t explain/understand and just fixed with restoring contents of .config from snapshots.

    This is one area where Manjaro ‘held back’ and did actually save us from a lot of the bleeding edge (5.26 was a rough ride)… but that’s not an ‘Arch’ issue, that’s a ‘KDE’ issue.

    But the USER likes to tip the boat until it does a barrel roll, or sinks entirely… and this is mostly what divides the happy users. Sometimes it’s just basic hardware, sometimes it’s the USER habits/modus operandi.

    So we have Snapshots, and we have rsync backups to a mounted drive… Then it matters not - a quick restart fixes most issues, and a reinstall takes only 6 minutes with no data lost -> in backups.

    That’s stable enough for me.

    BTW, I use AUR quite a lot - and it never actually caused me an issue, other than some stuff needing rebuilds.
