I’m planning to switch from Manjaro to pure Arch, but I really like the easy setup Manjaro provides. Are there any guides, wikis, or personal tips to replicate that setup on a fresh Arch install? Looking for something that covers the essential packages, configurations, and tweaks to get a similar out‑of‑the‑box feel. Thanks in advance!


Can’t you remove the specific Manjaro packages/configurations? I did this when I installed EndeavourOS, I removed ever endeavour-specific package and my “about system” shows “Arch” instead of “Endeavour” now.
I believe that this way you don’t have to lose any files.
Iirc manjaro changes the package management to not be rolling release, I think you would have to add back in the base arch repos and risk versioning issues.
ooh, I see. Seems too complicated.
