This is specific to gaming on linux, something that, well you might actually want Arch for. Truthfully, Manjaro is still squarely in the top 10, Ubuntu is still king, by a huge margin, Debian behind that. Maybe they're not used for running games under proton/wine/etc, but, they're on top for a reason, good or bad. This whole "XYZ distro is finished/failing/etc" is nothing more than clickbait. A distro is finished when people stop developing it, plain and simple. By that Measure, Manjaro, and many others, are doing just fine. For the record, I run manjaro a fair bit, and I think the main issue people have is that they'd be better suited running a different distro that isn't a rolling release because they don't/can't troubleshoot any rolling release, manjaro or otherwise. Nothing wrong with that, I run debian some places, it's boring, and sometimes boring is nice.
