If you like Manjaro but wish it would stop breaking, try EndevourOS ( EOS ).
EOS does not have graphical package management. Try pacseek ( yay -S pacseek ). You can install pamac but please do not. It brings Manjaro levels of quality with it.
He wanted something stable… Arch based systems require you to read the release notes each time you upgrade to make sure there’s nothing special you must do. Those who are unaware of this requirement often end up with broken systems. Also I wouldn’t call Arch based systems without GUI configuration tools not being too complex… Arch is for those who like to tinker, edit lots of config text files and read man pages and wiki entries.
Personally, I like Arch Arcos and even Manjaro (Probably EOS as well, but it doesn’t play well with Ventoy) - but I wouldn’t recommend it to someone who just wants things to work out of the box with minimal tinkering and not require special attention when updating.

Basically how every linux user should be.
