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.

Absolutely solid retort that totally addresses what I said on the merits. Also, way to nail the tone. Both hallmarks in debate from people that know they are right.
For anybody reading from the sidelines, most of the “TNT” in my analogy comes from the fact that the Manjaro repos are incompatible with the AUR.
Read both comments and decide for yourself what advice to take. I have offered my warning but do not wish to battle about it.
I used Arch for a decade before Manjaro, and I was under no misapprehension that the AUR was anything except a collection of community package builds of wildly disparate maintenance levels, with some very popular packages waiting weeks or months for updates.
If anything, the AUR got more stable in my experience when I moved to Manjaro. If you're thinking there is any quality control and/or support keeping anything in there consistent, then you're a bloody fool.
