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.

People try to use Manjaro as Arch when it isn't Arch. Manjaro has it's own repositories that may not match Arch version. You install an AUR package that depends on an up to date Arch package to work and it fails.
It's literally the worst distro, https://github.com/arindas/manjarno
Endeavoros is fundamentally better in every way, everything manjaro adds makes arch worse, and everything good they have comes from arch.
Because manjaro does weird stuff with own repos etc
