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.

I used Manjaro for about 3 years
Its great but packages tend to break over time with it being a "stable" arch build
Over that 3 year period updates managed to break my install at least 30 times
Switched to Endeavour over a year ago and haven't had an update break my install yet
That sounds more unstable than plain Arch.
Except it's pure bull. I've been using it for years on the stable branch and I've never had anything break.
Anecdotal, but good for you.
