I only gave that advice after 3 people tried to help you 5 different ways and apparently you're still stuck. Make of it what you will.

Funny how a particular type of newbs always and suddenly seems to grow 20 years of Linux experience the moment they feel challenged by someone.

As I CLEARLY stated I have been playing with Linux on and off for 25 years. That doesn't mean I went under the hood. It means I kept checking back to see if finally most things could be done via a GUI instead of through the terminal. 3+ years back I tested out Manjaro 18.0 or 18.1 and was fairy impressed. The only exception being Octopi. I switched to Mint Cinnamon and stayed there for the better part of a year, then Neon then Kubuntu. I finally decided to check out Manjaro Plasma again at 18.1.4 and they had switched to Pamac which I liked. From there Garuda, EndeavourOS, and finally AcroLinuxD(all Plasma desktops). After being on Mint Ubuntu based Neon and Kubuntu left me wanting something more stable and up to date. Kubuntu was the last straw with non rolling releases. Forcing you to have to rollback some of your sofware so as to keep their OS from breaking I was having nothing to do with, so back to Arch based distos. In my book best OS decision I ever made. In my book Arch is far more stable and reliable than Ubuntu based systems.

Now as for why I rolled the install back was cause trying the various solutions didn't seem to solve the issue, and the issue started to get worst. I appreciate the help and suggestions greatly, but in this case I felt rolling the system back was the best solution. I do wish I had thought to do that saving all of us the time involved in this.

Well in that case any Arch-based distro definitely isn't for you. Only my opinion of course.

My point precisely. Octopi is a pacman frontend. pacman is Archlinux' great command line package management system which requires an administrator capable of manual intervention. That's just how Archlinux is built. No helper application, gui or cli, can replace that, and ultimately no derivate distro can pretend otherwise.

Well your opinion is incorrect so keep it to yourself. Since you seem to be one of those HATED Arch purist do not reply to me again. I have no patience for your [removed].

Reported.
You're off to a bad start. Out of arguments ==>> insult??
You're also wrong - I run Manajro on one of my machines, happily.

You might want to read the LQ rules again (because I'm sure you read them the first time when you signed up).
