@13reak @artfulrobot #Fedora is great. Something changed with it, or my perception of it, late last year or early this year, such that nowadays i think especially its #KFedora & #Kinoite are marvellous [years ago, i regarded its KFedora as poor].

On your...

>#archlinux but that comes with stability issues (frequently crashing builds)

...i well know #ArchLinux seems to be a popular whipping-boy, erm, whipping-peep, for/by many #Penguinistas . Mostly, each time, i just note my Conky's displayed installation date for my daily-driver #ArchLinux of 2019-12-06, recall its absolutely rock-solid reliability every day since, & then just go... 🤷‍♀️

@thegurkha In my enthusiasm for the #AUR, i almost Favourited your post. *Almost*. Had your co-opted aphorism instead been something less #TechSexist, like...

>Cometh the AUR, cometh the peep

...then i'd have done so in a heartbeat.

😜

My whining aside, your co-opted aphorism is certainly droll & witty 👍 And ofc, isn't the AUR simply fantastic for we lucky #ArchLinux-flavoured #Penguinistas ! 💜

@orowith2os I have no quibble whatsoever if your personal experience has been that for reasons x, y & z #KDEPlasma has proven unsatisfactory *for you*. It would be unspeakably arrogant & frankly plain ridiculous of me if i were to opine on *your* lived experience, & i try had to avoid that level of disrespect to others.

My quibble though, & the trigger for my expansive "cobblers" post 😉 is simply when peeps attempt to extrapolate their own 100% legitimate personal experience, onto others. That's a bridge too far, & i simply wished to point that out.

[Hoping now to alter the tone of our chat] May i ask pls, which distro/s have provided you this unsatisfactory KDE experience? I ask for this reason, fwiw. During my own adventures in LinuxLand [for which i remain eternally grateful, & still feel daily that all of us #Penguinistas are incredibly fortunate with this magnificent gift to us], I had unambiguously my worst KDE experiences with #Ubuntu-based distros, like Mint, Maui, Kubuntu, Neon.

Once i changed to #openSUSE #Tumbleweed [#Xorg], i had a wonderful Plasma experience; all of the bugs, breakages & annoyances from before, vanished. I believe the likely reason is that #Rolling distros ofc give us ALL the current pkgs, including the libraries upon which KDE relies, whereas #FixedRelease distros like Ubuntu do not.

After #TW I enjoyed another excellent Plasma UX in #Manjaro, albeit after three years of that i moved away for, ahem, "other" reasons... to #ArchLinux, where i remain. Its KDEPlasma #Wayland UX for me is even better than i had in oS TW [#X11], which is frankly a lovely surprise.

So, apols for that boring history, but i mentioned it only to illustrate that MAYBE [only you can know, certainly not me], if perchance your KDE UX might be happier in an alternative distro? 🤷‍♀️

>less _vista

A sentiment roundly endorsed not only by all faithful #Whovians, but also all devout #Penguinistas ! 👍

In lotsa places, #ArchLinux users attract rather a lot of scorn & even opprobrium from other #penguinistas. Sometimes this is unwarranted, other times it's eminently justified. One place where occasionally or maybe more often, certain "sub-optimal" behaviour might be observed, is the #Arch subreddit.

This thread however, which could easily have gone bad fast, instead is [atm] just a minor delight to read. Tis light-hearted, whimsical, repeatedly funny & witty / droll, & generally generous of spirit.
