I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

    I recently have gone from Manjaro to EndeavourOS myself within the past year or so. For me it was similar to the reason I switch from Ubuntu spins to Manjaro in the first place. I want new software ASAP. Manjaro was holding back KDE 5.25.5 with the rounded corner fix for quite a while even from the other channels. I also would run into issues where the kernels would no longer be supported but having them on my system caused problems with updates. Manjaro’s various kernels actually saved me a few times, but not sure what the best way to deal with this is while keeping support for additional kernels, but Arch only has 3 available at any time so they’re always supported. I still like Manjaro, and it’s the distro I would recommend to anyone who has anything but the most basic computing needs.

      Yea, things on Manjaro take absolutely too long sometimes. I had problems with Discord all the time which literally won’t run on an old version and Manjaro being nope, no update for you. I switched to unstable branch just to not have to constantly deal with it.

        I have migrated my laptop to EOS already, but I still have a VM with Manjaro I’m leaning on ATM. It would just be a few hours of effort to migrate but I will wait until I am more ready for that at a later date.
