Yes you can but you often see the terminal used when helping people online. This is because it works across desktop environments and mostly across distros, however it does give the impression that the terminal is needed.
So i downloaded opensuse iso on my pendrive with ventoy, but during installation I'm getting errors due to not matching 5SMD code or smh like that, is there a any way to install system to get a fixed iso?
I'm moving from ChromeOS to Manjaro. I want to put the Task Manager on the right edge of the screen, but don't see how to do this. I'm pretty sure this was possible a long time ago....
Yeah but it rolls. I don't use it but I would guess they're waiting for 6.1 before updating.
If you want to be more up to date, switch to the unstable branch which mirrors the Arch repositories. It will also solve one of the biggest problems with Manjaro, the potential imcompatibility with the AUR.
In addition to what’s already been said, Canonical have a history of starting grandiose projects and then abandoning them a few years later. See Mir, Unity, and Ubuntu Touch for examples.
Alpine Linux is often recommended in similar circumstances. I’ve never tried it so can’t say how it is. Of course you could use Debian with a light WM.
What was the first ever distro you installed and used? For me, it was Mint as I seemed like the closest thing to Windows minus all the forced updates and chappy changes....
The first distro I tried was Red Hat 5 back in the late 1990s but I never got a GUI working so I guess the first one I used properly would have been Mandrake iirc. These days it’s Tumbleweed.

Knowing that and knowing that themes can have code is two different things though. I wasn’t particularly surprised as I thought (maybe wrongly) that global themes just installed all the other bits which would require code.
A theme is software and software has bugs. While this one had a pretty dramatic effect, you take basically the same risk with every program you run. This, along with hardware and user errors are why backups are so important; they change a disaster to an inconvenience.
