I dunno what the plural of “Manjaro” is.

    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.

      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

        They avoid releasing packages with outstanding bugs. So at least there’s that.

        As for AUR… it’s really not a standard for stability in any shape or form. Heck, if AUR packages really didn’t work on Manjaro that would definitely improve its stability. 😄

        But that’s really not proven (that they don’t work). All the ones I tried worked fine. YMMV. A third of AUR packages are abandoned or have never been updated after being added. There is no quality bar beyond “some random person decided to add a package”. I really don’t think we should use the AUR as proof of anything.
