I started to experiment with Manjaro I think about a year ago now. The stable version currently has e.g. KMail Version 6.1.2 (24.05.2) KDE Frameworks Version 6.5.0 Qt Version 6.7.2 Updates come about once per month vs. every 18 to 24 months for Debian stable. Usually the updates are smooth, but if there is a problem, I have the impression the Debian community has far more expertise than the Manjaro community (maybe the real experise is in the Arch community). For an experience with latest greatest software, Manjaro is a good choice for me. For maximum stability, I prefer Debian. Regards Rainer
