Does the 1~2 week delay improve Manjaro stability over Arch?

I run Manjaro on the computer I use 99.9% of the time. It’s been rock stable but there have been a few issues, over the years. I’ve been forced to reinstall on four occasions, since 2017. I expect it would have been more but I stopped taking updates until a week or two after they are offered. Every issue could have been handled with timeshift but I only started running timeshift about 6 months ago.

I also have an Arch laptop that I use a few times per year. It’s been very stable but it goes for weeks without being used. I have no way to know how many problems it would have had if I used it every day.

Any thoughts on which is more stable? Maybe it doesn’t matter that much, with snappy and timeshift?

    The delayed updates also include security updates by the way, so you’re vulnerable for two weeks to any known exploit.
