Another “difference between” Linux question: What ist the actual difference between them?

How fast/stable are releases, compared to each other and in comparison to upstream Arch?

I think I dont get the difference because in my understanding Arch is a rolling release and with both alternatives you want to stay as close to there releases as possible, but dont break you system frequently, right?

So whats the main differences?

    I used Arch for a decade before Manjaro, and I was under no misapprehension that the AUR was anything except a collection of community package builds of wildly disparate maintenance levels, with some very popular packages waiting weeks or months for updates.

    If anything, the AUR got more stable in my experience when I moved to Manjaro. If you’re thinking there is any quality control and/or support keeping anything in there consistent, then you’re a bloody fool.
