Manjaro? The distribution that told users to change their clocks back on their OSs to get updates working? The one that last year couldn't patch Firefox for over 1 month because two package maintainers were on holidays, but Arch patched in one day? They can't even sort out bugs in package updater (recently leaking memory - 2.4GB RAM usage to update 120 packages?!). Last week I moved to openSUSE from Manjaro and it was really good decision, works better, it's faster, ex-Windowsers love it because of YaST2 [1] GUI manager for everything

If you have 10000+ machines, then you already have the infrastructure to building deb packages, and experience in running apt/dpkg based system, then the jump to Debian is much smaller than jumping to Manjaro/Arch.

There's a huge difference in you switching your single desktop to a different distribution and switching an organisation the size of Google. Going with Debian brings then closer to "upstream", while leaving them with a base installation that isn't much different.

I've tried Manjaro long ago, but these days i really like Debian. Never liked Ubuntu that much. I think Debian is really fast, small and easy to setup, but that's totally my perspective. I'm just a novice and still have to google lots of stuff. :)

What does Manjaro offer better than Debian if i may ask?

It's based on Arch so packages will always kept up to date. I don't know about Debian, but the system will break every time I try to run do-release-upgrade on Ubuntu.

I've been using Manjaro for over a year now, never had any problem.

Pretty sure thats Ubuntu specific. I have machines here that run the "same" Debian installation for 10 years, doing dist-upgrades every few years and switching the disks (or the whole machine) underneath.

Its one of the things I love Debian for.

Debian Sid would be the equivalent to a rolling distro, as far as updated packages go. I find it pretty stable for desktop use.
