I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

I would not consider Manjaro too big to fail considering what they're currently going through. The distro has been stagnating the past few years tbh. The community wants collective ownership but the founder is stalling more time. If you're curious they made a big post about it on their forum
