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.

Why is Manjaro shitting the bed when other distros aren't? EndeavorOS isn't, Garuda isn't, even regular Arch isn't.
I suspect it has something to do with them deleting the pacman lock file in their system package update scripts to run a nested instance of pacman before while the first instance is still running...
All to avoid their users needing to manually run a few changes that the Arch Devs have labeled as need manual intervention.
