Same here! Been using manjaro for more than 5 years by now on all my dev machines and I really like not being overrun by updates.
Once you form the habit of checking latest “stable update” forum thread (the eqivalent of checking the arch frontpage before an upgrade) and check for potential “manual interventions” (if any), then it gives you suprisingly good stability.
But it’s still rolling release and “pretty current”.
And stability simply becomes more of a factor once your metaphorical “plate” becomes choke full and the last thing you want from your underlying OS is to act up on its own due to an update.
