It’s funny because I see the same cult behavior, but for Fedora. I’ve never understood the point of this distribution that has never worked well for me.
I’m on Manjaro by the way, because I love everything about Arch except the release style.
I’m using Fedora, but I’m not going to say it’s my favorite. I liked MX and OpenSUSE a lot. Just had a hard time with running them on a computer. Fedora just worked out the box.
But you’re still getting updates every day, just two weeks later than Arch. The “testing” is just two other branches somewhat closer to the Arch package releases.
Funnily enough, I feel the opposite. Manjaro never worked reliably for me, but Fedora works great for my use case. Is it perfect? Fuck if I know. But it’s a good, no-nonsense, extremely low maintenance, super reliable distro that I use daily with zero issues.
Also, they pioneered the atomic distro concept that has amazing use cases, and some fantastic projects are based on this technology. My gaming PC runs Bazzite for a zero-maintenance, immediate gaming experience. My dads laptop runs Bluefin and he hasn’t broken it yet, and he’s capable of breaking every single OS.
That said, never heard of fedora being a cult at all. Hell I feel it gets far less recognition than it should honestly for being cutting edge and stable.

The Manjaro release style is holding back everything (yes, also critical security updates) for two weeks. How is that better than getting the updates?
I’m not a fan of getting updates every single day, sometimes breaking little things. I prefer less frequent homogeneous and tested releases.

Just update weekly. It’s an easy fix.
Usually, the stable branch is updated every 2 weeks or so. Look at the past releases: https://forum.manjaro.org/c/announcements/stable-updates/12

Same.
