I think they do not want all of the dependencies that come with KDE Connect like Qt. A small price to pay for probably the best phone/desktop sharing application available.

The largest item keeping me from swapping to COSMIC is the lack of HDR support. They stated it would be implemented before or at the 1.0 release. Has that already completed?

I think Cosmic will be the best compromise once it finally releases. Having the ability to swap between tiling and floating quickly and per workspace gives you the best of both worlds.

Especially when the title for the article is

LibreOffice 25.8.1 Office Suite Is Already Out with More Than 90 Bug Fixes

That being said, they may have changed it. Its just a patch release, so most people won’t care too much unless they are dealing with a bug they are hoping was fixed.

You could use something like homebrew for your packages while keeping just system packages to the default package manager. It has the upside of being separated and more recent, but it can mean duplicate packages are on the system.

Is this SteamOS? If no, what Desktop Environment?

If you use -Qeq, you should be able to skip the awk part of the command.

I don’t know if raw package counts is the best comparison. Unlike say Fedora, Arch bundles everything related to a project in the same file. If you want Qt6-base on Arch, that is one package. If you want it on Fedora, it is going to have a lib, header, docs, and maybe a few other packages.

Just from personal experience, I do not have issues with finding packages in the main repos, with only a handful of my packages coming from the AUR. This is not the case with others, like Fedora where extra repos need to be added, like EPEL and RPM Fusion.

The arch maintainers package more software than most other distributions. Some items they leave in the AUR by choice, if the Dev prefers it there. The key is to use the AUR sparingly and only if you trust the packager.

Maybe they aren’t updating enough which leads to larger issues. Had a problem in the past updating NextCloud too slowly and stuff broke.

I haven’t had any issues with my OLED deck. Every time I take it off the charger it is at 79%.

It is. Maybe they meant CachyOS, which is a popular Arch based distro.

I haven’t dealt with Canon stuff, but the Arch Wiki is a good place to start.

Perhaps a compose file on the raspberry pi. You can have it build the container as part of the compose file, then you can just start your services up with docker-compose up -d --build. The only things you would need to do is update the git repos and rerun the up command. You could also script it to pull the git repos before building.
