I’m using Manjaro because SuSE Tubleweed didn’t want to install that day. People like to hate on Manjaro but I honestly don’t know why - the defaults are fine and I very rarely have issues despite using software from the AUR
It has been 442d 15h 07m 53s since Manjaro !$%&?*# up.
So a year and a half? That’s not all that bad really. And that time it was a (admittedly bloody stupid) cock up involving the SSL certificate of their website not of the distro itself
Also I’ve just actually looked at EndeavourOS’ website and it says very clearly front and centre that it’s focused on the terminal, which is entirely not what OP was even asking for. It might be a fine distro, I don’t know, I’ve never used it or checked how many years it is since they cocked up, but it doesn’t present itself as a KDE focused distro which is what OP (and I) want!
Why? Because after a series of negligent incidents spanning multiple years, a couple of which impacted the AUR for everyone they’ve gone a year and a bit without another major incident?
Again, EndeavourOS exists – all Manjaro does for you is hold back packages making things unstable.
Well, you’ve heard about it now so I fully expect you to take up the crusade like you have against manjaro, unless you’re biased/tribalist.
Also pretty disingenuous to compare a single incident of being hacked with a pattern of sloppiness and negligence.
No it’s not, lol. Being infected with malware is worse than anything the Manjaro team has done. If you disagree, then you’re just not worth taking seriously.
Let’s be honest though, you’re not worth taking seriously because you just do what you think will make you look good in front of your peers.
One is significantly worse than the other. Getting hacked is significantly worse than anything the Manjaro team did. My point is that what happened to Linux Mint was worse than anything that happened to Manjaro, but people like you never get up in arms about it.
You might want to brush up on your reading comprehension if this is difficult for you to understand.

Sure, maybe they’re better now, but this long list is why the reputation stuck.
That and EndeavourOS exists

Or maybe you just have a weird bee in your bonnet about something that’s not even really a problem as evidenced from your own numbers
I simply showed why Manjaro has that reputation.
You also unwittingly showed why it doesn’t deserve it

Debian and Slackware and Arch and Ubuntu also exist, they’re also not relevant
I don’t have any issues with the complaints often mentioned about Manjaro.
Linux Mint, on the other hand, once got hacked and hosted malware on their website :(
But I’m sure you’re as quick to tell people about that as you are to tell people about Manjaro.
Why would I tell people about something I’ve never heard of before? Go shove your snide attitude up your ass.

If you thinking getting hacked once is comparable to a multi-year pattern of being clearly negligent and sloppy, then there’s not much hope for you.
