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.

Manjaro is significantly worse with updates breaking.
I used for a little while in 2018 and again in 2019, both times ended because it once became stuck in a boot loop after updates, and another time couldn’t boot after updates.
Mate it's been six years. Half a decade. Manjaro hasn't exploded a single time in at least the last three and beyond that has had only minor issues related to their website in that time.
You have to be dense to be holding something that happened six years ago against a project.
So go and use it then? I don’t care what you do.
I started using Manjaro in 2018. I can't remember any significant break.
