> Arch is a full time job to maintain

I've never understood that sentiment. Are there things I don't know about I should be doing?

I installed Arch probably four years ago on my laptop, and have never had to do anything but install updates and read the announcements on archlinux.org since.

I do understand the appeal of Manjaro - I did use it briefly when it first came out - but I don't see how maintaining Arch Linux would appear as being particularly complicated. I literally don't do anything with it I wouldn't do with any other OS.

The fact that any update may break your system if you're not careful is quite stressful when you're working. It's only a few hours from time to time, but when work is pilling up "just for an update" it feels like days.

Also, it seems to me that ArchLinux had less very impactfull changes in the past years because it has matured quite a lot. It's only an impression though!
