And that last part about KDE makes me sad. Good KDE coverage is the most important aspect of a distribution to me and why SUSE Tumbleweed and Manjaro KDE have become my go-to distributions...only I don't care for the way SUSE does things and Manjaro is pushing crap too fast for their own good. \
For Manjaro, a distribution with a focus on ZFS should not push Linux 5.5 until they update their ZoL base to a git revision with Linux 5.5+ support or they should sit their happy ass on Linux 5.4 until the next ZoL release that includes Linux 5.5 support is released. Or if I didn't read my damn logs this morning I'd have rebooted into a non-working system. I have a feeling that bullshit like that doesn't usually happen with Fedora.
One can argue that Gnome shipping less stuff and being easier to test initially as a bad thing for the long term -- by that I mean that including less software means the end-user will have to install more software to get a complete system which then adds more complexity and issues for bug fixers, quality assurance, etc -- Pay a little bit more now or pay a lot more later.
