you can't possibly compare Manjaro to Windows. Manjaro is a rolling release distribution!! What do you think will happen under this model? It's the same issues as Arch and Gentoo. Consider Debian instead, where upgrading is always viable but doesn't just happen randomly. My current Debian install dates back to _etch_ when it was frozen to hit stable. Years later I'm on testing for bullseye, on newer hardware, and everything is fine. Never any issues upgrading from stable to stable, only went to testing because I started needing newer libs for my GPU.
