I fully expected someone to respond like this, but here's the thing...
My wife and I moved over to Manjaro when it was the hot new thing and we were new to Linux. She stays on LTS and only updates a couple times a year - and thusly have had no issues at all with it. I'm not about to demand that she let me re-image her computer and undo all of her customizations just because the internet hates Manjaro.

Simple fact is that she's on Linux and I'm proud of her for being willing to take that step.
I named several other distros including the very ones that you man-splaned to me, don't get hung up on the one ;)

I literally said

I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.
