It’s literally the worst distro, https://github.com/arindas/manjarno
Endeavoros is fundamentally better in every way, everything manjaro adds makes arch worse, and everything good they have comes from arch.
I’m an anarchocommunist, all states are evil.
Your local herpetology guy.
Feel free to AMA about picking a pet/reptiles in general, I have a lot of recommendations for that!

I use keyd for this.
For graphical installer - there are already plenty of these for arch that aren’t manjaro and don’t fuck up your system like manjaro does
As for package manager frontend… pamac is awful, just use octopi or any TUI.
There was no need to make a whole new distro for those two things, and those two things aren’t even well polished. They should’ve just made those tools for arch, and called it a day.
Manjaro 100%
Everything they add to arch makes arch worse. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch.
I use the Mozilla homeserver
I use noto sans medium everywhere. (and the mono version for the terminal ofc)
Hyprland or sway, anything wlroots based really, and I use alacritty.
I installed Manjaro for many people and have thoroughly regretted it, using it was a battle and over time the install would for seemingly no reason break.
I no longer give people manjaro, endeavor is significantly better. Or the arch installer.
As someone who is a die-hard linux user who would never even consider using windows, I would never even consider a system76 over a framework, honestly.
You should really try a distro that’s actually up to date instead of ubuntu or debian, things are changing rapidly because of wayland, and you might not have a good experience on stable distros until the big transition is done.
I use f2fs on ssd’s and ext4 on hdd’s
I don’t see the need for snapshots, I backup externally
