The fact that CachyOS more or less successfully replaced Manjaro's purpose I guess is evidence of Manjaro's issues.
I forgot but I think Bazzite had similar complaints (due to its use of silverblue) in which case it was just more straightforward to use Fedora or OpenSUSE if you don't want to work with the read only root system.
Downstream distros need to bring additional value to the table to be worth using, otherwise there's really no need if you can make a package group that accomplishes the same thing in one go.
Is Kalpa still kickin?
I had been using Pop-os for about a year but wasn't completely happy with it. A friend suggested Bazzite and, to me, it was a lot better in some ways and worse in others. I've since switched to Fedora and don't really have any complaints. I don't plan on switching again baring something I don't see coming.
