I’ll second that! Manjaro is my longest running installation of a desktop Linux. I’ve got it on three workstations since 2018 and it’s still running perfectly.

Every other desktop distro has shit the bed after an update for me.

That's great to hear. I would love to run Manjaro also but i can't download 400Mb per day.

If they provided a semi-rolling release, now that would be something i'd be interested in

They definitely don't offer 400mb of updates every single day. You also don't have to apply updates every time they offer them.

If you waited to apply updates once every 3 months you'd be fine.
