From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Eh, when I bought a brand new Lenova Legion 5 a few years ago the trackpad wouldn't work in Ubuntu, Fedora, or PopOS. It worked on the 4th distro I tried, Manjaro. So your mileage may vary.
That is most likely an Arch-thing rather than a Manjaro-thing.
Yeah, that is most likely an Arch thing which is why I made this comment in direct response to a person saying that Arch was behind Ubuntu when that is not always the case. I'm sure most people know that Manjaro is based on Arch.
If you want a Manjaro specific thing, then I could point to his "broken grub thing" which did not effect Manjaro because the updates are held back for longer and for further testing.
