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.

Use Debian.
Manjaro has had major package policy issues in the past. Trying to bash arch into a stable release cadence doesn't fucking work. Don't know how true this is today, but it was a pain a couple years ago when I rolled it.
My best luck with proper Linux development was on Debian and it's derivatives. If you don't need bleeding edge shite, it's great.
If you want something more up to date, debian based stuff like Ubuntu and Mint work well
It's been working fine as far as I'm concerned for about 4 years now. But you really have to accept the fact you're not on Arch and follow Manjaro updates at their own pace, and use a LTS kernel and so on. You have to let go of the bleeding edge.
Most of people's problems with Manjaro stem from trying to make it into something it's not.
