Getting back to the actual thread 
I’m in the midst of trying to transition to Manjaro as my distro because it gives me a stable video driver supporting opencl (necessary for dartable without painfully slow editing steps) as well as a stable KDE Plasma desktop (which I prefer to gnome shell and unity). I can’t meet these requirements with any Ubuntu or openSUSE and my hardware.
However the deal-breaker may be being able to install your excellent software. The AUR version is 0.4.11-4. I’ve tried to go manually by installing dependencies as per the README, but the script won’t let me install (since I’m on an Arch derivative). I am thinking of the nuke option:
Caution: untarring the archive, building it and installing it using
sudo python3 setup.py installis not supported, and not recommended.
Is there an alternative that is possible? I haven’t yet resorted to hacking the install.py script, but that was something else I have considered.
What might be an alternative?
