I've been daily driving Manjaro on KDE for 8 years. People have philosophical problem with the way Manjaro is run, but for practical use it has been great. Manjaro is essentially Arch, so you can get all the bleeding edge Arch packages within weeks delay. The Manjaro team usually try to catch if there is a disastrous rolling update upstream. People usually accept that Arch breaks once a year or so, in my 8 years experience with Manjaro it broke twice. It will break even less if you don't update your packages as often, and for most users you don't need to have bleeding edge packages on kernel level (you can update your browser separately from whole system upgrade).
Arch snobs look down on Manjaro, and they made one mistake DDOSing the Arch repo that they will never live down. But I find that Manjaro has the right balance between the bleeding edge of rolling release and usability.
Ew fuck KDE. I forget what the really pretty one Manjaro usually comes with is called.
