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 use Mint, Arch (technically Asahi), Debian, Ubuntu, and I used to use Manjaro.
They all have their places. Mint has the best UI/stable no-fuss desktop experience, for instance.
Arch does not have a place though. It's just a more buggy Arch with a worse maintaining team
EDIT: Actually, tbh it's incorrect to even call Manjaro Arch. That's an insult to Arch
I know you meant to say Manjaro, but that's a pretty funny take.
Oops lol
Leaving in
Don't forget that it's repo has less packages and that they're delayed by two weeks for absolutely no reason. Not only opening users to potential hacks, but also messing up AUR package installation.
Manjaro is Arch's glue eating cousin
