I think often, when doing stuff like installing software, and I say this as a computer Catweazle/dilettante/begrudging IT user, a person can look up and see hours have passed. I just looked up and it is far earlier than I expected. Obviously I got it installed - it worked dual booted, encrypted partition, and then I had to add a Wheel user, then loads of other little things and it kept interfering with a TV show I'm watching. So I installed the Manjaro XFCE official image, for a change, and it's speedy and functional, but before I get stuck on that I think I'll give Plasma a go. I'll probably end up back on Manjaro I3.
