"Online login protects your laptop from being stolen" is the most unhinged broken logic I've read in a while ngl

We use foxit reader on Linux for that at work.

Last time I tried it claimed it did but the installer failed to run every time

That's a very generous estimate. I didn't know about it and I work in IT.

Idk man, EndeavourOS on KDE has been amazing to me, even on Wayland. Even the plasma 5 to 6 upgrade has been ridiculously smooth. I have a feeling arch may not be the most unified distro to judge a DE on... Hope stuff stabilizes for you a bit. That's no fun. :(

What in the world... I use KDE everywhere, we even use it many workstations at work and I've seen no such thing it's been smooth sailing. I hope whatever's causing this is nothing too serious because that's NOT normal... :(

You've been lucky. I've been daily driving EndeavourOS for a few months now and I really love it but it did spontaneously break spectacularly twice already due to updates.

Absolutely this. Arch can be a first good distro, but only for a limited subset of new users with a very specific goal in mind.
Anybody who says it's any more stable than Debian or mint is either delusional, very lucky or disingenuous. I've never had to chroot into my system to roll back a bugged grub update on fedora, Debian or Ubuntu, but on Arch yes.
And I'm saying that with love from EndeavourOS. I love my system to bits but I'm realist enough to acknowledge the reason why I am comfortable on it is that I have enough years of experience on Linux to not stress about what to do when something breaks.

You were just lucky. For some of us ut was just about having the wrong hardware at the wrong time.

Not complaining, I knew the risks going in and still love my distro, but arch updates totally can brick a PC with no PEBCAK involved. It does happen. :3

That's anecdotal evidence but good for you!

I was among one of the grub fiasco victims. Thank goodness they rolled it back pretty fast and I knew how to chroot.

Until you're one of the unlucky ones whose PC gets bricked by an update. Happened to me twice. I agree, it's wayyyy more chill than people give it credit for, but let's not pretend using it as a daily driver doesn't come with its risks ^^
