Does anyone know of any desktop environments that are as good as (or even better) than Gnome when it comes to working chiefly from a touchscreen? Is there anything new and exciting on the horizon?</p>

Debian Stable seldom breaks &amp; doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. However, if you get caught in a worst case scenario like I did several months ago during Debian’s distro update freeze, you may be stuck with bugs for a long while—possibly 6 months or more from the time the bug gets fixed upstream till the time your system downloads the newly fixed version. The question to be determined is, will Debian Testing or Sid give me a better result than EndeavourOS?</p>

I’ve been very pleased with EndeavourOS on the whole, &amp; find little fault with the OS or Team. I realize that this is the nature of rolling releases. Lately, I’ve been thinking of trying to find a distro that fits between the stable &amp; rolling release models. The ideal would be to have very few show stopping bugs, fairly recent software, the need to do updates every 1 to 2 months, &amp; very little additional maintenance.</p>

It wasn’t caused by anything I did or didn’t do. In fact, it was fixed by an extremely easy one line “pacman” command from the command prompt. In addition, the ISO has been patched and the download no longer contains the bug that broke my system updates. Good work EndeavourOS team!</p>
