For installing Flatpaks via GUI, if you’re using GNOME, you can use Bazaar or GNOME Software and if you’re on KDE, you can use Discover. I’ll always recommend staying away from Manjaro though. Holding packages for 2 weeks breaks AUR compatibility often and as a former AUR package maintainer, I’m not a fan of that. They sometimes end up delaying important fixes too and they have a history of neglecting security. I’d definitely recommend cachyOS over Manjaro. CachyOS also has a very friendly forum if you end up needing help. For something more similar to Manjaro and closer to Arch (without all the performance patching and stuff), EndeavourOS is a great option. Ah well, basically, anything other than Manjaro.
