I can count the apps I install from the AUR on fingers, and none of them are independencies or high level drivers. Just regular apps. The issue wasn't the AUR, it's always something with KDE that gets fucked

I have tried manjaro, but I didn't like how slow it was and how slow its release cycle was, too.

Their ISOs are broken and don't boot. Tried every single one, changed USB flash drives, nope none of them booted. Used the same drive for another distro and it booted just fine

Thank you. I'm in the process of looking into Aurora DX. I've read their documentations and it seems to almost have everything I need. Illegal dig more into it and see. I currently am unable to access my PC. It never logs in. Lmao.
Edit: forgot to ask, is installing osprober a straightforward process on these immutable distros? I dualboot with windows

Do external devices work? Like Xbox controller, printers and stuff like that?

Wtf 😂

Debian stable? You don't have issues since it has older packages? All of your hardware works just fine?

:(
This sucks. I'm going to look into one of those immutable distros and use distrobox

I'm now debating between mint and kalpa suse. I went KDE and mint doesn't have it

I've thought about nix, but it looks like it has a somewhat steep learning curve, and I honestly don't even have the time for that :/

Damn. Lol. Ok then, will let that go

And what distro might that be?

I've read the whole documentation page. It sounds really good, but still has some issues that I might not like. I'm going to install it in a vm and see. Also, kalpa is still in alpha stage and I'm not a gnome person.

I was actually thinking of that. How's testing and unstable, are they good, too?

Can plasma work no problem on it? I can't do any other DE but that one

I want to use mint, but they don't have plasma. I know I can install it, but I'm not sure about the support and updates and all that.

Thank you. I've run Fedora for a long while, too. Albeit, it was a while ago (not sure how good it is now), but I've never had any luck with its kde version. It was always broken (for me at least). Also, hunting for apps was kind of a big issue. Then come copr repos. But I guess we have a good case with flatpaks now. Even thought I couldn't use them before due to storage constraints, but now, that's not an issue. So, I'll keep Fedora in mind. I appreciate you

I never wanted a hobby, but rather an operating system.

That's exactly how I'm starting to feel. I was a "distro-hopper" when I was new to it, but now I just want shit to work. The only thing stopping me from pop is the state of their distro at current time. It feels like it's been abondened or something. I know they're busy with cosmic, but that's what it looks like. Also, I'm a kde plasma only person. I just can't use anything else.

Is that possible when the OS is based on Arch?

So, they are just "based" on arch?
