Nice GUI not too much know how needed to use it, but is that not the whole idea behind Arch, to understand and visualize what is happening during an Arch Linux install.

Its really good customized, and the performance was the best of my laptop 2 gb ram 50 Gb ROM.

No need to install Nvidia, detected out of the box, blazingly fast.
Pro Higly customizable to tiny details via KDE settings and preinstalled Kvantum engine
Super fast and stable. Dolphin root restrictions can be solved with yust few clicks. Easy installation via Calamares , and preinstalled packages are awesome. Salient OS is a huge competitor to Manjaro both KDE & XFCE.
Cons
Con Not great in Virtual
Not so great when trying to setup in a virtual environment, better to just follow the wiki on the Arch Linux site.
Con Dead Distro
There have been no updates since 2021.
Con No torrent downloads
The download from Soundforge takes too long. If there was a torrent, like other Arch based distros, this wouldn't be a problem.
