What about people who want something up to date AND stable? I don’t want to be stuck on an ancient Debian base when I want up to date goodness for running newer packages. This is what Manjaro promises, but I think we all know the problems with what they’re trying to do. Fedora is probably the one distro that most closely fits imho, but I’ve never liked RPM distros too many bad memories from 25 years ago.
EndeavourOS or raw Arch would both fit that bill, you don’t need to run updates every day just because they’re available. Manjaro delays packages to “increase stability”, but that’s what causes it to break.

@blackstrat @CalicoJack Manjaro would be amazing if it didn’t break all the time
Which it does
I’m quite happy with Tumbleweed. It’s best of both for me, but still RPM based.
