This. I still daily drive arch, and, even though I've rarely had any breaking updates, it's always feels like a gamble. Have to keep a mental note of which critical packages are being updated, just in case I have to rollback the package. Always carrying an install medium with an arch iso when taking my laptop out.

I abandoned ubuntu for that very same experience, found your Ubuntu zen on manjaro instead. Funny how it goes sometimes.

I've only used Manjaro a little bit but isn't it the case the Manjaro holds back updates before rolling them out, thereby messing with stuff if you use the AUR?

My take is they're a little more cautious than full Arch. Arch will just push stuff because it's "ready", Manjaro does at least some testing so I'm not the guinea pig.

I don't have any issues with AUR stuff though, everything pretty much works out of the box.
