1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Just fun and games in Tumbleweed, I'd suggest doing the upgrade in cli or undoing all customisations as halfway through I got booted out of session to only be able to log into a half 5 half 6 KDE exspirence thank god for runner!

    So do I with "insert any other distro" when I postpone update myself...

    Well, yeah. But how do you keep updating your distribution while freezing KDE version?

    If I don't feel like complicating things I'll just wait those 2-3 weeks? And how does Manjaro do it? If what I read online is right, they simply take Arch packages, wait a bit and then release them as is...

    They do more than that. They basically triage individual updates in a testing environment before enabling them in stable. I can keep my entire OS up to date with all the latest security updates while remaining in the latest KDE Plasma 5 version as long as Manjaro thinks version 6.x is not stable enough.

    To me that's a huge advantage over Arch.

    Well, you can believe this or the thing I said. My experience with Manjaro were more along what I wrote, so the distro is dead for me. But if what you wrote is real they'd do basically what my today distro (Tumbleweed) does which is good.

    Well, that's my experience as a Manjaro user on my daily home laptop for 3+ years. I'm really happy about it and can't make sense of the criticism I'm reading about it.
