Neat, vanilla arch is still vastly superior and archinstall is not that difficult to use.

Would be nice if they could first sort out basic stuff like keeping windows on the screen after coming out of sleep mode and connecting/disconnecting an external monitor. On X11 no issues, but with Wayland stuff always gets thrown off the screen, with just a sliver of the bottom of the window still showing. Having to move every open application back by right-clicking it in the taskbar, selecting Move and manually dragging it back gets old real fast.
For a fixed PC that's probably not really an issue, but on a laptop that gets moved around a lot it's really annoying.

Manjaro has been really good on Wayland for a long time. I used it that way before I moved to Fedora because it was the only distro that seemed to be stable with 2 GPUs and 6 monitors, and that was because of Wayland. I'm surprised that it hasn't been the default, though I stopped using it a couple years ago.

Manjaro can move wherever they like, don't use that car crash of a distro.
People forget or are blissfully unaware of the financial mismanagement, the basic incompetence with keeping their own domain. They nearly lost it several times. Not to mention shipping with the AUR while being incompatible in many ways with the Aur.
If someone wants to use Endeavor or Garuda or one of the other different easy to use Arch spin-offs. There's no issue with that. They all work like they're supposed to and have generally been competent teams. There really is very little reason to use Manjaro these days. The last time I used it was for their Raspberry Pi version. Which wasn't really going to work with the Aur anyhow. But I think endeavor is still providing a pi image now so there's still no reason to use Manjaro
That said all this is yet another tick for Wayland.
Unfortunately for a long time they were the best arm distro for my pinebook pro. Though they can't even support that anymore. I'm looking for a better option again.
I am married to my DE. The distro is like an in-law, and I can chose which ones I interact with based on making my partner happy. If Gnome Wayland gives my hardware a hard time, then I hang out with a Gnome Xorg distro. Thank you Linux for offering that choice.
