Cheers for the rec! I'll take a look at it next time I go to upgrade.

It is precisely Arch for the lazy! In some circumstances that's a negative, others a benefit.

I think as with most things, Manjaro does have a niche. I like Arch for a whole load of reasons and I've previously used it for years (although I've now moved to NixOS ).

But the company I work for has a great policy of letting people use whatever OS they want. I normally go with Manjaro because it's "Archy" enough to satisfy me but it's much easier & faster to install fresh - which matters if you get a new work laptop every year and want to get started quickly.
