It seems like its a perfect distro. Rolling release so you get recent packages and dont have huge upgrades every few months, but not so bleeding edge that it breaks often. YaST is pretty cool but you are not forced to use it. Basic installation gives you enough essential stuff, but its not too bloated. The only thing its missing is AUR, but i still didnt find a program that i need and cant find in official repos or trough flatpak.

Honestly, now that i use it, it seems like insanity to install anything else. (for everyday desktop use)

    It does not have the latest software. It’s my first beloved distro. then arch, now nixos.

        I don’t know, to be fair I didn’t used it for a long time, 3 years or more. several things may have changed.

          It had modern kernel and software. It was the reason I use it. To support newer hardware. Thus was a year ago and I’ve been happy since. Maybe not Manjaro not master branch untested up to date, but as good as you’ll ever need.
