I just set up Regata OS a few days back and I’m missing Mate already. I don’t want a system that forces you to download packages that might break things. I’d like something smooth and automatic so it keeps updating, but still easy to use.

I run Manjaro on my professional machine – it performs well. I've experimented with installing packages outside the typical office environment and haven't needed any reinstalls. I've been using it every day for six months without major problems. The repositories are excellent and the AUR is very helpful before downloading anything from GitHub. I don’t have any gaming experience with Manjaro, so that’s not an issue. The forum is mainly about support, making it a good place to ask questions if you encounter any problems.

User-friendly means easy to maintain and update without causing issues with existing dependencies. For updates, a system like Manjaro is suggested, even though it might introduce some risks. The team seems to be working on something valuable, but it's still in development.

It offers greater stability compared to other alternatives like EndeavourOS. If you need something completely unbreakable, I suggest Garuda. It uses slightly more cold boot resources, but its built-in backup feature ensures it remains unbreakable.

I've mainly relied on Ubuntu/Kubuntu (from 5.04 to 20.04) and Manjaro for my setups. Regarding installation hiccups, I recall Ubuntu sometimes causing problems during upgrades, which could mean either needing a workaround or a full reinstall. Recently things have improved. The most frustrating incident in the past two years was with the Breath theme on Manjaro, requiring a theme reapplication and SDDM theme fix. Performance-wise, KDE (based on Qt) has outperformed XFCE (GTK-based), especially on my Manjaro Raspberry Pi 4. I've noticed snappier responses with KDE compared to XFCE on both my Ryzen 5 3600 and its graphics card. The Manjaro team also includes Timeshift by default, which prompts you to back up your data—though it can be restored anytime. This feature is useful for safeguarding against OS or filesystem failures, including ransomware attacks. Bonus: Timeshift supports remote backups. Gaming on Manjaro has been inconsistent; some titles didn't launch at all, even with Valve's Proton. Starcraft II stopped working, possibly due to a Blizzard patch. Adding the Epic Games Store was challenging, and performance varied widely—Left 4 Dead 2 was a standout exception. Interestingly, flames from fires are difficult to render, and Windows handled it better than Manjaro. Tekken 7, Monster Hunter: World, and Nier: Automata run smoothly, while Cherry supports Wii emulation even at high resolutions.
