If Wayland is so fragile as to only work with KDE, and is not responsible for anything, how long until it’s relegated to a KDE internal subsystem?

It actually is because of Wayland design. In their quest for “security” they’ve made it impossible for automation and accesibility tools to do their job.

It’s a glaring omission in Wayland going forward, for zero gain. Most of the touted Wayland security advantages are hogwash.

I believe that rclone already has Proton Drive support.

We don’t know yet, the first frame has been rendering for the last two weeks.

Or try using any form of desktop automation… which is a show-stopper and it doesn’t look like Wayland plans to do anything about it any time soon.

There is no other Arch-based distro that strives to achieve a “rolling-stable” release.

Alternatives like Fedora have already been mentioned by other comments.

Debian testing is not a rolling release. Its package update strategy is focused on becoming the next stable so the frequency ebbs and flows around stable’s release cycle.

manjaro since it manages to be less stable than Arch specifically because of their update policy

This is false. Their delayed updates mitigate issues in latest packages. Plasma 6 was released late but it was a lot more usable, for example.

I mean why even be on Arch if you can’t use the AUR and have the latest packages?

Anybody who wants Arch should use Arch. Manjaro is not Arch.

Some of us don’t want the latest packages the instant they release, we’re fine with having them a week or a month late if it means extra stability.

There’s nothing magical about what Manjaro is doing, it stands to reason that if you delay packages even a little some bugs will be fixed.

Also you can use AUR on Manjaro perfectly fine, I myself have over 100 AUR packages installed. But AUR is not supported even by Arch so it’s impossible to offer any guarantees for it.

There’s also Flatpak and some people may prefer that since it’s more reliable.

On some phones you won’t get anything when searching for “lockdown” but you most likely have it, it’s typically under Display > Lock screen > Shown lockdown option.

The community has been making Winamp clones for as long as Winamp has existed. XMMS appeared the same year as Winamp, in 1997. Audacious is still around and still has a mode where it uses Winamp skins.

The thing about Winamp is that it had its time in the spotlight for a few years and then everybody moved on to the new types of media libraries like foobar2000. Today it’s just a museum piece.
