That's cool. I recommended something that I use every day, and have others who are not great with computers running it as well, again, with zero issues.
I support those computers, and knowing that I would be supporting them I recommended something that I use and am familiar with, and have had no issues with.
I stated my experience and nothing further, which has been nothing but positive.
I don't really care what manjaro's governance looks like TBH. The distro they put out has, for me, been a very stable configurable system.
I don't deserve to be browbeaten for recommending the "wrong" distro.
I run a small tech support group and most of the linux issues I deal with are from people who shot themselves in the foot early in the process (typically by picking a bleeding edge distro) and were fine for a few months before things came crashing down.
I maintain that for the average user they should stay well away from anything arch based. The problems that model solves are non-issues for daily driver systems, and the problems it can very easily introduce are myriad for someone who doesn't already have an intermediate level of system knowledge.

It's all good and there is nothing wrong with recommending Manjaro. When I do I just mention it's a rolling release and what might come with that.
I'm sorry for making you feel that way.
