Just fun and games in Tumbleweed, I'd suggest doing the upgrade in cli or undoing all customisations as halfway through I got booted out of session to only be able to log into a half 5 half 6 KDE exspirence thank god for runner!

Well, with Manjaro style you'll only get the same KDE6 bugs, but couple weeks later...
Why do you say that? I'll get kde 6.02 or later directly, without having to go through the previous versions.
So do I with "insert any other distro" when I postpone update myself...
Well, yeah. But how do you keep updating your distribution while freezing KDE version?
If I don't feel like complicating things I'll just wait those 2-3 weeks? And how does Manjaro do it? If what I read online is right, they simply take Arch packages, wait a bit and then release them as is...
They do more than that. They basically triage individual updates in a testing environment before enabling them in stable. I can keep my entire OS up to date with all the latest security updates while remaining in the latest KDE Plasma 5 version as long as Manjaro thinks version 6.x is not stable enough.
To me that's a huge advantage over Arch.
Well, you can believe this or the thing I said. My experience with Manjaro were more along what I wrote, so the distro is dead for me. But if what you wrote is real they'd do basically what my today distro (Tumbleweed) does which is good.
Well, that's my experience as a Manjaro user on my daily home laptop for 3+ years. I'm really happy about it and can't make sense of the criticism I'm reading about it.
