I Try to update from terminal with: sudo pamac update or sudo pacman -Syyu or sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syyu But the result is same: There is nothing to do.

It looks like you already refreshed your mirror list.
Perhaps you are already up to date?
… don’t use sudo with pamac - it will prompt you for the password when needed
with pacman - yes, but not with pamac or yay or other AUR helpers
As you may know (now you do), Manjaro has different branches.
Stable branch receives updates far less frequently than, for instance, testing branch.
It’s still a rolling distribution, but tries to not expose you to whatever glitches might appear when updating right away, like Arch does.
I am very much aware of that. Regardless stable releases of other distros are using new packages which is what drives my question. My Fedora system get more frequent updates and typically run newer packages.
But if you want to use the packages at Arch Linux-speed, then go ahead and install Arch Linux. If you’d rather use Fedora because the packages are newer, go ahead.
Just keep in mind, specifically Fedora, which is backed by Redhat, has a lot more employees.
Also, Manjaro has always branded and sold itself as a curated rolling release, which means the packages go through a testing phase before being pushed to stable.
I don’t know or care about anyone else, really, but I prefer my rolling release curated. If you want it faster, then stop complaining and start helping testing tings.

Edit:
If you’d searched, you’d have noticed this topic has been covered numerous times:
You might want to try installing Arch again. If you had hardware that Arch, with its newer packages, didn’t support, I’d have thought you wouldn’t have been able to install Manjaro either
At this point I have a fuctional system and am not really interested in running a fresh install. But remember the current Fedora 37 ISO is still booting on the 5.19 kernel where are the current Manjaro ISO is booting on the 6.1. And given that I am running a system build on the AMDs 7000 series CPU and GPU I have to boot in 6.0 kernel or better.
It is a simple fact. I am running a freshly built system with latest generation hardware, things are what they are.
Not really. You do realize the Microsoft is an active participant in Linux development right? Linux might have a great deal of grass roots community involvement but it also has a great deal of investment from large corporate entities. Both of which are good things.
