    You know that’s not a Manjaro problem that’s a user problem, you’re specifically warned that AUR compatibility is not guaranteed with Manjaro https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository

    But people often ignore this and then complain that Manjaro isn’t stable.

    And yes Manjaro is fully rolling just because they delay packages a week doesn’t stop it being rolling, that’s like calling tumbleweed not a rolling release?

    I’m not arguing that Manjaro is better or worse than Arch just that if you use it as intended it functions correctly and is a good way to learn Linux and Arch.

    I think only endeavour and Manjaro still hold any use of the arch based distros.

    Endeavour generally has nice tools and is pretty much what you’d do with the install script so it just saves a few steps.

    Manjaro because it’s a gateway into learning arch for better or worse.

    But other than those two I don’t see the point of any other arch distros other than to be made for the sake of it.

    (I forgot steam os 3, but that’s a different topic)
