I still see no point of using Manjaro when it’s still basically crippled Arch. Why not use Arch itslef? If installation is too much, there’s archinstal or EndeavourOS. It’s just puzzling to me.
To clear it up, I don’t use either of them. But if I had to pick, I’d go with Endeavour much rather than Manjaro.
Manjaro offers a stable branch, pamac, upgrade snapshots, package manager, kernel manager, driver manager, and is optimized for LTS kernels. It takes a lot of the edge off Arch.
If that’s not something you need that’s fine. Some of us do.
I went with Manjaro due to the way they do their package releases.
Arch is bleeding edge,
a double edged sword if you ask me,
all the latest versions,
and all the bugs that come along with them.
I’m looking for stability in my daily driver though.
Manjaro keeps releases a few weeks back on their stable branch.
And tests the releases first on their unstable and testing branches.
Resulting in near bleeding edge with enhanced stability on the stable branch.

Packages delayed by a week or so is not “stable”, in either sense of the word
In fact, that can break things. Especially with AUR use

That’s why I went wirh openSUSE myself. It’s almost bleeding edge with amazing snapper preconfigured when you get into problems.
I used to think like you but have been using endeavouros for the last 2 years or so and never felt like I an lacking stability.
EOS is amazing. It’s been my daily for about a year now.
