What's your opinion about Manjaro?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just switched from Manjaro to endeavor OS. The AUR was just too useful and consistently breaking with Manjaro. The distro overall was fine outside of those issues. But I'm definitely liking endeavor OS a little more. And not just for the AUR. The Manjaro team has had a bit of drama It seems going on inside. They left their domains and certificates laps multiple times. It's definitely not confidence inspiring. But if you only use Manjaro and their repositories it's a pretty decent time.
I hardly ever use AUR, just the Manjaro repositories and flatpaks, so that may explain why I missed most of the headaches.
Well even without that there have been several broken packages that would cause systems to be unbootable when installed. But yes sticking with just the major positories and flat packs would help. As well as taking your time on upgrades and letting other people test it out first. I may be a bit too old school these days. (Started using Linux in the early '90s) I hate snaps. Flat packs are okay but if I can get native binaries I'll generally go for them.
