I read about it, but never did give it a shot. As with Manjaro stable, I’ve been running it over 6 months and I can’t break it so far. It’s been very stable on my end. Although it does seem a lot of users do have issues, lots of other big named distros do to (especially if you include M$oft+Apple). I think it has a lot to do with general laziness to take care of ones own machine. Much like you can drive a car for a very long time if you take care of it. Many people don’t, they just get in and drive and don’t pay any mind to maintenance. But, that’s just my opinion and experience so far.

I was using Manjaro stable for more than 6 months as well (well, I think it was stable as I was too newbish to really care). It never broke, despite the fact that the only ‘maintenance’ I was doing was to update it with pacman about half of the times (when I could remember to do it ) 
I think it may be quite the contrary of what you said - the less you mess with the system (and experienced users tend to mess with it a lot) - the smaller is the probability that something will eventually break.
But Windows was breaking itself with admirable perseverance even under my superb maintenance 
It just does it, that’s the nature of it.

Anyway I apologise, I don’t mean to start derailing this. Let’s keep this to beautiful desktops.

I felt it was time for a bit of change, so I “borrowed” a wallpaper from judd - I hope that was the idea - and it looks really good imho.
I just wish I could remember how to make the dock icons monochrome; I’m pretty sure I succeeded with that feat last time I was on Plasma. KDE just loves to move things around. 
If anyone knows, please tell…

Grab an icon set off of https://store.kde.org/ (it’s free) or the equivalent DE (gnome look is another one. There are several on there that are monochromatic. One of the better ones is the simply circles series. Which would actually compliment that wallpaper nicely. There are several ways to install them but here is what I do YMMV. Log in as root. Download the icon set. Extract the package and then move the folder to /usr/share/icons. This way it is available to all users.You may only need to log back into your user but I just reboot. Then when you go into the section of the DE that allows you to choose icons the new set should be there.

Thanks for the tip, I’ve been looking around there before, and there is a lot to ‘chuse’ from. All users in my case is me, so I’ll just do it the plain and simple way this time, but thanks, that might come in handy sometime.
I’m pretty sure I succeeded making any icon monochrome before, and it just buggs me that I can’t find that feature now. Anyhow, I’ll look in to the “simply circles”. …and again, thanks for the tip! 
Minor changes: Finally installed the Matcha themes. Might install the Korla icons, too.
New background.

I use xfsettingsd to apply my themes and Thunar and that’s about it with i3.

The Simply Circles Red was a perfect match as far as colour goes, but a bit hard on the eye as a daily driver icon set.
So I ended up using this instead.
Thank you very much for your help!
