Seriously. I used Manjaro for a short period about 5 or 6 years ago but ran into so many issues with it. Vanilla Arch on the other hand is very forgiving in my experience. I have a second desktop PC with Arch installed and I only update that machine once every couple of months when I actually need to use it. In my four years of doing that I never had an update break my system.

I highly recommend visiting Crete and exploring Phaistos, Knossos, etc. there. The Minoan civilization that built all these places was the first advanced civilization in Europe. It’s totally surreal to walk around Phaistos when you keep in mind that people walked these exact paths nearly 6000 years ago.

Here is a picture I took there in December:
