Bowfinger (npub1n9h…08g2) Manjaro has big potential, but I don't trust its maintainers. In the past it already broke systems by installing packages that weren't fully tested (even when their own maintainers had asked not to ship them yet), installation of AUR packages may break the system too (as most of them are tested on Arch, whose packages are usually a couple of weeks ahead of Manjaro), and in the past they even struggled with the basics (such as renewing their own repo certificates, asking users to implement workarounds such as temporarily moving the clock back before an upgrade).

I still use Manjaro on one of my servers, but I really have to be careful when I run an upgrade, especially with AUR packages.

I thought for a while that I'd migrate to it as my daily driver, but after seeing how it's maintained I've opted to stick to vanilla Arch.
