there’s just an awful lot of misinformation, conflation and confusion present in this paragraph.
Then explain what it is. One thing I’ve noticed from most Manjaro detractors is that they can never quite put their finger on exactly what’s wrong with it, they just issue vague statements like these.
Most AUR packages are source so they will link dynamically against whatever is installed on your system, be it Arch or Manjaro. There isn’t much (if any) binary incompatibility between Arch and Manjaro.
The two weeks delay is insignificant. If anything, the delay helps a compiled AUR package remain compatible longer, because the system changes that will break it will come to weeks late.
If there were any significant incompatibility between Arch and Manjaro it would be noticed with AUR binary packages first and foremost. But those packages usually download binaries that were meant to be long-term compatible for the most part and will only break after very long intervals (years) during huge upheavals of the library landscape.
