    It’s fine. I have a dozen installs of it out in the wild, with very illiterate users, and have had almost no calls from them for problems in the 5+ years that they’ve been using it.

    Everyone likes to hate Manjaro, but frankly it’s bulletproof.

    Aaaaand… commence the downvoting.

      You have to keep updating it fairly often, otherwise things slip through the cracks. Most recently on a machine that hadn’t been updated in about a year it wasn’t able to install anything because it couldn’t update its GPG keyring anymore. I find the solution to be pacman-keys --refresh-keys or something like that. Why they can’t do that as part of one of the updates, I don’t know.

      There’s also small things that crop up during normal installs but that’s to be expected on any distro due to bugs in various packages.
