I've been running it for years, on a laptop with an Nvidia card no less. Manjaro seems to be more unstable than Ubuntu in terms of regular updates. Even with the AUR, you can just wait for the packages to get updated for the breakages to go away. Every major breakage I've encountered was either an upstream issue (yay, rolling releases!) or an AUR package not indicating its dependencies properly (producing errors like "libgarglesplurt.19.0.so not found" on startup). Arch installs have broken for me in the same way, usually at the same time.

If you're complaining that building shit from source breaks, maybe put the blame on the packages that apparently refuse to build if you're missing a minor update, or the kernel modules that claim support for the latest kernel but just don't compile.

Arch isn't stable. Manjaro is a tiny bit more stable. If you want stable, pick Fedora or SUSE or Ubuntu.
