Why do some people hate Manjaro? (lemmy.world)

Sometimes people tell me I should have gone with either Linux Mint or EndeavourOS, and otherwise don't really tell me why it's bad, just that it's bad. So far I only could find one thing, which is that their repo isn't 100% rolling for stability, and sometimes it does not guarantee stability.

Because of the their choice to hold back package updates by a bit, it breaks AUR support. I have Aldo heard people talk about stability problems. The biggest reason IMHO to choose EndeavourOS (or even CachyOS) over Manjaro is that the former is much closer to base Arch Linux. Manjaro just has a bad reputation. When I used Manjaro like 6 years ago it was fine.

@Neptr @ZILtoid1991 in my experience, 90% of the AUR packages work. And AUR is not officially supported by Arch...
