I don’t get the hateboner the linux community has against Manjaro, it’s the only distro that booted correctly in live image mode with full nvidia support on my PC, so seems like they at least take Nvidia pretty seriously.
manjaro really does some things right. it’s the best grub boot menu i’ve ever seen, with perfect dual/triple booting detection and such, but it kept breaking all the time and was a pain to fix. switched to fedora and never looked back. i got debian on machines where i don’t want to fiddle with the is often. then fedora on what i use a lot and need to be flexible. bazzite on machines where its supposed to just work and manage the nvidia optimus pain, which it does really well. also i’d opt for mint for people starting out, or not as tech savvy people.
different distros for different use cases, but manjaro has proven to be too much work (on my workstation and those of multiple friends).
(also i’m looking into nixos)
The only controversy I’ve heard of was Manjaro forgetting to renew an SSL license a while back (probably 2 years ago by now), I wasn’t aware there had been other issues.

I’d argue that for Nvidia and their drivers management there are better choices, such as Manjaro.
Although on desktop I didn’t have any problems, laptop with AMD iGPU and Nvidia dGpu, prime etc. It’s really a PITA on Fedora.
AMD 9070 on Wayland and Plasma isn’t perfect neither.

There always seems to be some sort of controversy going on about the devs’ behavior from an ethical perspective.

There was also an issue with a dev wanting to use donation money to buy a gaming laptop. That rubbed some people the wrong way.
Obligatory insert Manjarno.
