I’ve seen a lot of people who quite dislike Manjaro, and I’m not really sure why. I’m myself am not a Manjaro user, but I did use it for quite a while and enjoyed my experienced, as it felt almost ready out of the box. I’m not here to judge, just wanted to hear the opinion of the community on the matter. Thanks!
It all depends, it’s not just the installer which makes it different than Arch, also the configurations (on Arch/Artix for many things to work, or safe configs, you actually need to do a lot of tweaks, whereas I understand Manjaro should work mostly out of the box with sane configs that should work in most regular users). As someone mentioned, for people not used to dealing with configurations, starting their experience with gnu+linux, perhaps Manjaro is the option, and then they can explore Arch/Artix.
