I am currently using EndeavourOS, but am annoyed by the constant daily updates of 1GB and pacman not installing important dependencies automatically (ex: spell checker for document editor). I like the way Fedora works: you update whenever, important dependencies are downloaded automatically, and packages are recent-ish, but I don’t like that it takes forever to run dnf. I don’t want to use Manjaro (apparently it breaks quickly?), and the distro needs to support KDE. I know about Flatpak, but I don’t want to download 1GB of data for each app. Are there any good options?
(Yes, I can probably deal with Fedora, but dnf is slower than apt, and I don’t want to deal with external repositories for non-free software.)
EDIT: I do not want to tweak or edit configuration files, I just need something that has up to date packages and “just works”.
What about kinoite? Package manager runs in the background, I can’t even tell if it’s fast or not, I don’t interact with it anymore (rarely). If you want another package manager or repository, just use a distrobox. https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox
Kinoite probably won’t work for me, but distrobox sounds cool. I’ll check it out.
