> flexibility of Arch Linux and making it more accessible Then don't you remove the purpose of using Arch? It's KISS / setup yourself is part of its appeal.

  Arch has many other benefits, like Pacman arguably being nicer to use than e.g. APT, and AUR having a wider range of easily installable packages than even Ubuntu PPAs, and less patching of upstream packages. Manjaro just makes it more approachable for people who don’t want to set it up themselves, similarly to what Ubuntu did to Debian.

    Arch has a shell based installer, why use Manjaro over that?

      Arch does not have a shell based installer. If by shell-based installer you mean: you manually run a bunch of sequential shell commands, then yes. For me that does not constitute 'an installer'.

        It does: archinstall. Its been a thing for I think 2 years now.
