What went wrong? Well, you name it!

I think the main issue here is the mindset of "installing a new distro will fix it". Unfortunately, a lot of people online push that idea. If it's broken on Mint and Bazzite, it's probably a generic Linux issue.

The second issue with Plasma sounds like it could be related to Wayland and fractional scaling.

    @stuner @JoshsJunkDrawer well, it's not entirely true, this is not on Mint or Bazzite but installing AUR packages on manjaro, you do not see the results immediatly but the AUR on manjaro is...well, there's a reason why it is not recommended at all, you begin to install an AUR, then with a 100% probability, your manjaro will break after some time, this happened to me multiple times, this never happens on EndeavourOS for example, nor Cachy
