From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don’t have an answer to your question but I use and love EndeavourOS which is pretty similar
That's another option as well. It's between Endeavour, Cachy, or sticking with Manjaro.
Usually my primary consideration is community size and/or team size. Too many linux distributions seem great, but have low support and eventually just vanish, so I always try to stick to the "bigger boys". Not saying Endeavour is that, but once upon a time it was the new guy on the block and that's why I've waited to consider it. Same with Cachy. I wait to see if they've proven their staying power before considering them.
