Three of the four aforementioned distros all offer first class KDE variants. Fedora KDE is considered one of the best KDE distros. Or you can recommend OpenSuse, Kubuntu, etc for an even simpler out of box experience. Jumping to Manjaro

This only happens if you are using an upgraded Win7/8 key and only on the newest updates of Win10/11. If you're using a Win 10 upgrade or Win11 fresh key, it's expected you wouldn't encounter it.

Why specifically Manjaro or specifically KDE? If anything, I'd recommend a new user use something like Pop_OS!; or at least some more newbie friendly DEB or RPM distro (Mint, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc).

I always love these corporate PR posts. "No one is loyal to us anymore, boohoo"...as if it started with the employees or as if 100,000 tech workers just decided overnight to be overemployed and quit.

Honestly, I just wish COSMIC was less ugly. But that's just a personal preference thing. If it helps productivity and shaking up the Linux environment, that's always a plus.

Doing the same to the Filipino project drops it down to .35%, so the total impact is still 1/3 that of the Ute project. Additionally, the Ute will need to weather that impact for a full 30 years, while the Filipinos will only need to f

The point is that for all the stereotypes that American grocers/supermarkets are inundated with, lack of brand diversity/options is not usually one of them. Implications, inferences, and outright suppositions aside.

This is what many retrogamers say. It's because CRT was more forgiving and generally fuzzier in its presentation, so gave softer/higher-def feeling visuals. Watching on a pixel-perfect LCD quickly reveals all of the flaws.
