Manjaro as a project is amateur hour, over and over again. Their practice of holding back packages is bad, causing many version conflict problems. Their software DDOSing repos is bad, they can try to pass the blame to pamac, but they are the ones shipping it. Their repeated inability to keep certificates updated is bad.
EndeavourOS should be recommended over Manjaro every time.
Interesting, I'll give it a shot on my next rig. Looks like it came out after I'd already gotten comfy with Manjaro.
Can't say with my use case I've run into any of those issues, though the cert stuff sounds kinda gnarly, especially to happen more than once.
It's hard to argue against "ain't broke why fix", and frankly, I'm surprised your install has lasted so long without going sideways heh. If you avoid the AUR that's probably helped. And I actually do believe manjaro has improved in the last year or two - it's just difficult to recommend while endeavour and archinstall exist.
