From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm out of the loop, why is Manjaro considered a "bad distro" ?
I have used it for quite some time now, and I enjoy it, i find it fairly simple, fast and pretty.
Is there something I'm missing ?
Read the screenshot by OP. Can confirm that, too
I've been running Manjaro for about 5 years, and it's still running solid.
Same here. I've used it on and off for years without any issues. My current install is around a year old and so far has been running smoothly.
I mostly keep it stock with GNOME and use it for dev work which it handles well
