Not just with their web hosting. I’ve had so many updates break random crap it’s not even funny. Recently, a random update I did not approve suddenly had kwallet not working. A core piece of a DE they provide a bundled version for. I had to start kwalletd myself every time I wanted to use it.
It didn’t start that way on the fresh install. I didn’t do anything myself except reboot. Then suddenly my scripts that nab from the keystore are failing and asking me for passwords and what a mess.
That’s just a more recent example. I remember having quite a few random issues on update in the past, though the only other one I explicitly remember is the DE suddenly failing to start. Like, at all. Luckily I had a recent timeshift backup saved elsewhere, restored, and ignored the update notifications for a long while…
It kind of makes it hard to trust this distro when they fuck up the most basic things so often and frequently.

Yeah Manjaro either needs to figure their shit out or everybody should stop using it.
I tried it out like 5 years ago. A month after using it a random update broke the DE.
Right then and there I wrote off the whole distro and haven’t touched it since.
I don’t know why people are even using it all these years later.
