    Personally, I am going to stick with KDE - my main PC has 256GiB of memory (It’s a 2016 CAD workstation that I stuck a GTX 1080 in), so I really don’t care that much about memory. But even on my lower end bay-trail lenovo tablet, KDE doesn’t seem much worse than XFCE and by sticking with KDE, I don’t have to “learn” both Desktop environments. KDE came with it’s own drop-down terminal called Yakuake, btw. But I want to use the terminal as little as necessary.

    At first I installed Arch on my main rig, but I then decided to switch to manjaro because I am worried that Arch might be a bit more “volatile” when it comes to updates than a more “stable” distro like manjaro.

    My first experience with Linux was 15 years ago, when I switched to ubuntu Linux as my Laptop OS for 2 years, and within the first week of installing it, I saw the words “uninstalling gnome-desktop” appear during a distro-upgrade, and being a linux noob, reinstalling my system afterwards seemed to be the quicker sollution to the system rebooting to a shell only. I’d prefer that not happening again.

      Their “stable” releases are fake. They literally just wait two weeks and don’t perform ANY tests, the manjaro team is ridiculously incompetent.

      How do I know this?

      They shipped an update to steam that uninstalled the desktop environment, this should’ve easily been caught in their two week period if they performed ANY tests at all, and they did not. Manjaro is an incredibly incompetent distro that has had fiasco after fiasco.
