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 love arch as much as the next guy but it can be a bit of a bugger to install. It's reasonable to want a little more simplicity with all of the benefits of arch.
Look up Calam Arch Installer. It's an installer ISO for Arch (using official Arch repos) that uses the Calamares installer which is the same installer Manjaro uses. It makes Arch easy to install, I've used it for all my Arch installs.
