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.

Start by not using Manjaro. Seriously this won't be the first time this happens to you. It's not a great distro. Consider EndevourOS if you want Arch without the command line install.
Have you even looked at the picture they posted or do you just reply with nonsense by default when you see the word "Manjaro"?
Yeah the picture looks exactly like my experiences with Manjaro. Thanks
I've always suspected that Manjaro detractors might be mostly Linux beginners who do stupid stuff then give up at the first sign of trouble.
You're not exactly doing your best to change my mind.
The AUR is intended to be used with the official Arch repos; Manjaro repos are often weeks or sometimes even up to a month behind. Even the Manjaro devs put a warning for this reason.
So what if they're behind. AUR packages have dependency requirements too. They won't install if dependencies are not met. Unless you force it — but that wouldn't be their fault.
So how can an AUR package break something if it's not installed?
