DISCLAIMER: Arch Linux is not a beginner friendly distribution, and this is not a recommendation or good practice.

I know how to use pacman -S. I have yet to experience a Discover related issue after months of use.

So its less about lack of packagekit support in pacman and more about lack of manual intervention features in GUI software managers?

    it is more about arch's philosy being your system may not boot next update, happens pretty much no where else, except windows, manjaro and sometimes ubuntu

    Yeah ... no thanks. I'll be okay with slightly outdated versions of various packages, as long as they still work.

    I mean I've been running an arch derivative for nearly ten years and the last time I got got was an Nvidia driver bug in 2020.

    As much as arch talks about it it doesn't happen that often.
