I am personally part of that distro’s chorus of disapproval. MANJAR-NO!

Arch and its derivatives can be rough for beginners because of how relatively easy it is to push past a failsafe and get a configuration that requires knowledge you don’t have to restore.

As detailed in the link, Manjaro’s update policy makes using the AUR a lot less safe than it would be on something using the mainline arch repositories.

If you can’t dig around in shell with only a wiki for guidance then you enter “Here be the monsters” territory more or less as soon as you touch the AUR.

On the other hand, fixing breaks without reinstalling is the second most thorough way to learn after running Linux From Scratch.
