Honestly it might be better to go for Arch + some standard desktop environment.
I used both Manjaro and Arch for a while, the worst part for a newcomer is trying to make big system updates:
You can quickly run into dependency hell with half of your programs still using some old version of some common library, while the other half updated to a new one. Sometimes pacman detects that and just doesn't let you update...
I only saw it with Manjaro; a major system update may update kernel headers or something, but not update your kernel (cuz manjaro has a somewhat custom kernel) which when leads to you being stuck in the bootloader cuz it can't find your kernel.
I crush my system when trying to update things almost every time 🤦
Another thing which is only there for Arch - trying to connect to wifi; and other network related issues, those are fun to solve for sure :) Manjaro does better in that regard.
my mentor would push people to abandon windows and mac despite their tech level. and for those who only use a mouse and office, hed always suggest Manjaro

It is so easy in Linux to mess up ur whole operating system by wrongly using the command line to manage the packages.
I loved my time with Manjaro and I will definitely be back for it
I don’t use it because I like to use the same environment as my servers. I don’t want to use pacman for my desktop and apt for my servers. I’d rather use apt for both.

I used Manjaro for awhile and it’s really good, I jump around a lot too between distros I know it’s pointless because they are all virtually the same.

😂😂 Yeah..
The best thing about manjaro is it's actually lightweight
I love this OS ❤️

Manjaro is great! I have it as a dual boot with arch 😊
Manjaro is the bomb.
Manjaro cured me of the pain of using Linux. It's simply a bomb. A weight was lifted off my shoulders when I got to know this operating system.
