Why do some people hate Manjaro? (lemmy.world)

Sometimes people tell me I should have gone with either Linux Mint or EndeavourOS, and otherwise don't really tell me why it's bad, just that it's bad. So far I only could find one thing, which is that their repo isn't 100% rolling for stability, and sometimes it does not guarantee stability.

They have repeatedly caused a ddos on Arch servers, ignored security concerns, had supply chain issues when it comes to Pinephones (and more).

On top of that, their deployment strategy for core repositories is just a rollout delay with practically 0 quality assurance, which is even more bizarre, granted that they butcher perfectly functional Arch pkgsbuilds. No idea for why they continue to imply this somehow improves stability. Stability in what?

There's a reason why people don't recommend it, and there's a reason why you shouldn't either.
