The first time I setup arch, it took me 13 days to get it fully configured, before that it was a mess,
Then for work I switched over to manjaro, boot time was 1.9 seconds, yes, you press power button, see the vendor logo, count two, it asks you for password, enter your password, in less than a second, it's ready
It has taken me over a month setting up arch. Everything works except the desktop enviromnent. I've installed whatever I've been told to install. Done everything but zero. I get the GRUB terminal screen when I boot so I uninstalled it.
It had taken me multiple weeks too to install arch the one time I tried it (I managed to make everything somehow work, but not after a lot of painful retries and some refining after the install). On the plus side, I learned a lot, but not again for me. Manjaro fits perfectly my needs.

Did you install Manjaro with additional software or the lighter version
I used the standard KDE version because I loved the UI
