Is Manjaro really that bad or are arch users just petty? Or a bit of both? I see this recommended in a ton of places and yet it seems it's prone to break with the sound of a fart. What's your experience with it?

It was fine the first couple of weeks but using pamac the gui package manager is horrible
I uninstalled some unused software and when I went to remove orphans I found the linux and the gnu core utils as fucking orphaned packages to remove

I installed and it worked fine the whole time I used it. It's quite nice to use. It's not for arch people, it's just a comfy, easy to use, preconfigured system. I don't use it anymore but I still recommend it.

I'm using it right now. It's pretty good, actually. It comes with a lot of shit I use pre-installed, so it's a slightly more convenient Mint. I've only encountered 2 bugs so far but the OS is usable.
The first issue I had happened when I was updating it after installing the OS. In the middle of the update, it just switched to fetch updates from some african servers which reduced the download speed to around 15kbps. I fixed in somewhere in the software manager GUI.
The issue I'm having right now is related to PulseAudio. When scrolling on the AudioControl plugin in the Xfce panel it immediately freezes after one scroll and then starts working again after 10-15 seconds. The "workaround" I found is to click on it then scroll on the slider.

Arch and Manjaro are basically the same. I don't know why do you guys care so much about little differences.

>rolling release distros should not be used by beginners for various reasons.
>literally doesn't mention a proper reason
jesus fuck this guy is a retarded parrot. Rolling release doesn't mean less stability as much as eCelebs would like you to believe, and Manjaro doesn't even default to rolling release mode. Normies are using rolling release software every day and it's a non-issue. Even if you have a bug of some sort it's usually fixed fast, unlike "stable release".
>you need to know how the package manager works
I've been using Manjaro for a while now and I have no fucking idea how to use the arch package manager. The only thing I know is "sudo apt update", which isn't an arch thing. You don't need to know anything other than click "software manager" and type an app name. This is as dumb as saying you need to know the terminal to use Android. Nobody fucking uses "pm install package" to install shit on android.
>Frequent kernel updates can sometimes result in issues with drivers, and you have to troubleshoot these issues.
No, if anything kernel updates significantly increase the chances your hardware will work. When I was on Mint I used ukuu to get the latest kernel whenever possible and had 0 issues for over a year.
>SSL certification issues
Are not relevant to distro issues
>Manjaro is focusing on monetizing the distro. They sell computers with Manjaro installed
Oh for fucks sake. I can't believe it took me this much to figure out this guy is a useless commie.

Manjaro has retarded maintainers.

Yes manjaro does default to rolling release mode.
You completely misread the passage about AUR helpers. You are specifically the type of person who should not use an arch-based distro.
