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.

Endeavor seems like a better option. The majaro devs don't seem particularly trustworthy as OS devs, mainly because they hold back security updates as a policy and have allowed things like ssl certs to lapse multiple times. Endeavor gets you the benefits Manjaro provides without the nonsense.
I personally run on Arch since 2006, rolling that install along over these years. There were around 5 breaking changes in all that time that required a bit of intervention.
A few years back I set up my wives PC with Manjaro, hoping it would give her the same cutting edge experience with a bit more UI fluff to manage it. Boy was I wrong. I had to resolve package conflicts and broken boot sequences every other month.
I gave up and just installed Arch on that machine.
