the difference is that the folder/package structure for other package manager is open and well known
everyone can host their own i.e. apt, pacman or Flatpak repository with little effort

the required folder/package structure for snaps is no longer open and you cannot change the default snap repository either easily

thats a big hit for non-commercial laser cutting enthusiasts
Between Visicut and Lightburn, the later was miles away even with its quirks and testing all sorts of stuff with boxes.py was a lot of fun

bummer

sounds ok for me if you install the full KDE Plasma + all applications package group and add some basic software like LibreOffice

fun fact: the other three reactors in Chernobyl were put in operation again AFTER reactor 4 blew up
I believe the last one for 14 additional years

how safe that was is another question though

Once I realize a package is going to take ages to get ready, is it possible to safely intervene to stop the process? I try to avoid it because in general I understand arch-based distros don't like "partial" installs. But is it safe to stop compiling? No changes have yet been made, right?

AUR helper do that user friendly, just cancel the process with CTRL-C
the package gets installed only at the END of the compilation

compiling manually (no PKGBUILD or AUR helper) will be different, especially if don't build a package first
things like make install usually don't and can leave a mess

the work amount of backporting fixes which ARE already fixed in newer versions is also insane

thats one of the reason why Arch Linux sticks to stable upstream versions, backporting is just not feasable on smaller teams

Run sudo pacman -Syu

Arch Linux stable should got the KDE 6.1 update today
if it doesn't appear in your system upgrade you might want to update your mirror list

there is good hint of xenophobia in your comment
you probably need to meet some people foreign of your country and learn they are humans just like you

It will also allow us to sped less money supporting people here, and do much more for them in their own home countries.

tax rich people/companies
these are taking your money away for a good cause for everyone
