From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm considering switching from Windows 10 to something either using KDE or the new Cosmic DE that System76 is working on. Right now I've got a 3060TI.

Those packages are not going to be any more stable when you get them. Just older.

When you get the bug fixes happening now, it will be long after Arch and EOS did.

My impression is that EndeavourOS is more stable than Manjaro after using both extensively.

Anyway, I agree as a general principle that we should stop telling people to switch distros to solve specific technical problems.

That said, you do not have to wipe everything to move from Manjaro to EOS. I have done it on multiple machines. Perhaps their suggestion was to fix your problem in place.
