Manjaro is the distro that made me ditch Windows completely. I even bought a Tuxedo Laptop with Manjaro preinstalled a few years ago, and I almost never had any problem (this laptop is still my main device, and I never reinstalled the OS). I love this distro, but if the financial situation is bad enough for them to fire the only full-time developer, it's time to change things. If the community hard forks, I may follow. Or begin to distrohop.

    I got a little bored with the anxiety of point version upgrades that standard distributions follow every 6 months or so.

    Rolling distros like Manjaro work much smoother for my use case (web browsing, some gaming, light coding).

    Fedora is kind of rolling, but not really.

    You'll have frequently daily updates of 800mb but also have packages being updated months after developer release. It's a good stable system with pretty modern software versions.

    However, keep in mind that fedora has versions. As in Debian you'll have to upgrade from one fedora version to the other, but I don't think LTS is as wide as in Debian.
