    Please do not suggest people to use Manjaro.

    Manjaro’s maintainers have repeatedly:

    • Let SSL certs expire, asking end users to turn back their system clock until they fixed it.

    • Told users to make partial updates which often causes packages to break, including mandatory rollbacks on critical packages such as systemd

    • Held back packages for ~1-2 weeks to improve stablity, but does not do this for all packages, including the AUR, which causes dependency hell and breakage.

    • Rolled out an edit to a AUR package that repeatedly sent requests to aur.archlinux.org which made the servers experience a DDOS attack, impacting all users.

    I am not saying this to hate on Manjaro, but to inform OP and others. If they want a stable yet fresher distro, they should choose something more like Fedora or Ubuntu. If they want something rolling, Arch includes an installer in its iso that is really simple to understand.

    Edit: I guess I hate Manjaro for pointing out they run their packages horribly. I’m such a bad guy for that. Woes Manjaro.
