Always use the Original not Manjaro but Arch, not Ubuntu but Debian etc.

  Why? Is there a reason behind this principle or is it just dogma?

    Just my personal experience since ~2000

        Well it's a bit a mix of predictability and stability (not the technical one). One example Ubuntu...first Unity then Amazon then Snaps, and ubuntu is even considered an "enterprise distro" But i am really not a distro fanboy (super happy if one uses linux and not windows/mac), in fact i use Free-BSD (no truenas etc...again same rule, take the original (i know technically that would be netbsd)) wherever i can, and if i have/can touch linux i choose a old warhorse-distro, mostly because of future predictability/stability.

  Ah well, Manjaro was a blessing for me, so much that I donated to them as well. It feels like the best of both worlds - I don't have the motivation to install the system from scratch, but I'd like to use AUR. Oh, and as others have said, upgrades are quite a YMMV thing, Manjaro upgrades haven't broken things for me since the last few years.
