As Manjaro has always said, as many forum members have said and Manjaro prides itself on, Manjaro is a curated rolling release:
And, sadly, as @Aragorn have said, the newbies demanded 5.25, which completely wrecked the curated part. As I’ve previously said, and still stick with, if you don’t want to wait, there are other branches out there. Even other non-curated rolling release distributions. Or as you’ve said yourself, fixed release distributions.
But I’m obviously wrong, so I’ll shut my yap.
