I would not reccomend Manjaro. It breaks often and is much less reliable than vanilla Arch or even Artix. Fedora is plenty bleeding edge enough for most gaming needs, Endeavour OS is a much better easy to use Arch based distro.

Are you speaking from experience or just repeating what you've heard? I've used Manjaro daily for over 2 years and haven't had an update bork my system ever, and I've even been on the testing channel for the past few months.

From experience. When I was first starting out using Linux, I used Manjaro for around a month. It booked around twice, and I wasn't able to fix it the second time by uninstalling some packages.

I just asked because I find a lot of people across Linux spaces who absolutely trash it but their only source is some plaintext website that reads like a stalker keeping track of every mistake the manjaro team has ever made.

I don't know how long ago "when i was first starting out using Linux" was, but if it was longer than I've used it I'd venture to say that they've improved stability since then. The only exception seems to be EOL kernels and Nvidia drivers, since AFAIK pamac-gui does absolutely nothing to warn users that their kernel is EOL which is a bizarre decision.

Artix is my favourite Arch-based distro.
