From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is fine and your prerogative.
And this is the problem I had with your original comment. You don't actually know what the root cause is and yet you're ready to apply blame to Manjaro with absolute certainty. This is why I say you're just jumping on the bandwagon. Many of the other "reports" that you mention are in a similar vein. It all boils down to "well something broke, I don't know what, and therefore I blame Manjaro".
Do you know how many people use Ubuntu and had something break for them? Their forums are littered with these posts as well. I personally have had Ubuntu absolutely shit the bed during system updates, but you don't see me going around declaring Ubuntu is shit and for good reason! I don't actually know what caused it! It could have been something specific in my setup. I know that Ubuntu works well for many other people. Likewise, there are many people, myself included, who've used Manjaro before and it worked fine for them.
All I am saying is don't be so quick to judge. All you have is 2 random breakages that you haven't properly root-caused and what you claim to be a bunch of random hearsay from others, and yet you're ready to throw your anecdotal experience into the ring as complete fact.
