Manjaro OS
So I've been iso live testing Manjaro KDE Plasma lately and it looks very polished.
On the other hand, there is a negative vibe towards it.
Why the hate?

I used Manjaro for about 3 years
Its great but packages tend to break over time with it being a "stable" arch build
Over that 3 year period updates managed to break my install at least 30 times
Switched to Endeavour over a year ago and haven't had an update break my install yet
That sounds more unstable than plain Arch.
Holding back packages can do that. Not in sync with what the AUR has to offer is just asking for trouble.
Except it's pure bull. I've been using it for years on the stable branch and I've never had anything break.
Anecdotal, but good for you.
EndeavourOS is such a good replacement for manjaro
Wow. 30 times in 3 years? I wonder if that's specific packages or hardware you had. I had 5 computers (2 desktops, 3 laptops) running Manjaro for so many years, and still haven't had a single system break. Including using a lot of AUR packages.
Though last year, I've moved all of my computers to Arch, Debian, and Proxmox. Arch mainly because I wanted to fully configure my systems more.
