I mean, aren’t arch-based distros all have the potential to shit themselves on update due to packaging bleeding edge apps? What’s so different with Manjaro in this regard?
I’ve been using Manjaro for like 7 years. Throughout these years I maybe had two issues with updates. I’ve easily fixed one by myself (it was a dependency issue), the other one was a bug in packaging. Mentioned it on their forum, they were crazy fast to reply (I wouldn’t even expect that from a software company, let alone an open source project), and the fix was out in a few hours.
Btw their issue tracking related to updates is top-notch. This is another reason why I had a positive impression with this distro.
Regarding their own software, I am also impressed by their mhwd scripts. Even a shitty Nvidia driver can be easily installed with it, which actually works. And their OS installation framework has been adopted by other distros as well.
Because they can’t ship working software. Oh, they also don’t know what “system” means. It shits itself on updates.
For the love of God, use Garuda instead.

Because Manjaro fucks with the repos, making the AUR poisonous to your system.

I used Manjaro and my wifi adapter would shit itself every update.
I find it hard to recommend a distro that’s so anecdotal. Garuda uses mhwd as well.
