Why do some people hate Manjaro? (lemmy.world)

Sometimes people tell me I should have gone with either Linux Mint or EndeavourOS, and otherwise don't really tell me why it's bad, just that it's bad. So far I only could find one thing, which is that their repo isn't 100% rolling for stability, and sometimes it does not guarantee stability.

Manjaro is a great distribution that has had its share of controversies in the past, but in my opinion, it has something essential: control over its own repositories. I would not use any derivative distribution that does not have control over its own repositories, nor would I ever use a rolling distribution that does not have a system recovery system configured by default in case of failure. Manjaro has control over its repositories and Timeshift configured and ready to use as soon as the system is installed. If Tumbleweed did not exist, I would probably be using Manjaro.
