The only reason why that can be true sometimes is there’s not enough folks using the unstable and testing branch to catch some issues.
For those that didn’t already know: Manjaro unstable = Arch stable + Manjaro packages
Interesting… What were the worst moments of using the unstable branch? Out of curiosity just so I know.
I cannot remember a single instance where my (and fellow forum members) ability to either
- adjust configs and/or workflows
- find/apply a workaround
- downgrade specific/problematic packages
- restore a previous state
- or live with upstream bugs till they were fixed
failed and left me with a non-workable system.
If it came to that, I could always “retreat” to testing or stable branch - yet I’ve never had the need to.
@Yochanan: As you are a member of the Manjaro team, have you got news about the support of Gnome shell 40 for the stable branch and if a new Manjaro Gnome iso file with Gnome 40 (full supported) is scheduled for soon ?
Chrysostomus told three weeks ago that the support was sufficient at this point and it would soon moving to stable. Since, no more news.
Regards.
Moved to testing to try the Gnome 40 experience on manjaro and it’s so good. Ofcourse I only have the pamac update indicator en user themes enabled so I can’t speak for users that have more modifications to gnome running.
I have everything enabled, everything is fine, but there’s this annoying bug with pop shell where sometimes the window will be placed in half width as if you had another window on the workspace as well, this can only be fixed by switching the window to a different workspace. That’s pretty much it.
I tried these extensions with Gnome 40 (Manjaro): Applications-overview-tooltip, Big-Sur-Status-Area, Block-caribou-36, Gnome-shell-extension-improvedosk (from AUR), Sensor-perception. It works fine.
Dash to Panel is now supported for Gnome 40 (the last version available in Manjaro unstable branch works too).
who uses gnome is because they like gnome and don’t care about the workflow, why don’t they update gnome ?
Received the much awaited Gnome 40 stable release couple of days ago… great job! It had some minor issues related to dash-to-dock, which was resolved in today’s update… looking rock solid now. Thank you team Manjaro!
