Manjaro, it's a no-hassle arch distro.

I used to use Kubuntu. But trying to upgrade to the latest version was a nightmare (latter realizing it's because the distro is abandoned). Tried other KDE, ubuntu based distros - always the same story. Buggy as hell.

Finally listened to my friends and moved to arch. Manjaro (kde edition) has been fantastic. Yet to see a bug or non-functioning feature in >6 months of use. Thinking of switching to tiling desktop tho.

How about Antergos, isn't it a better choice for new users? Technically it's just Arch and should just work. When I tried Manjaro I found it slightly confusing, also being shunned by Arch community for using it is a Majjor Majjaro drowback.

I haven't tried Antergos yet, but for me, Manjaro just worked out of the box. It's also technically just Arch, and I can't say I've ever experienced being shunned for using it. Sounds to me like you just had the unfortunate experience of running into some pricks on the internet. I can't see how said pricks would react any differently if you told them you were running Antergos... (But if it persists, perhaps you'd find it easier to just say you're running Arch. :)
