I’m planning to switch from Manjaro to pure Arch, but I really like the easy setup Manjaro provides. Are there any guides, wikis, or personal tips to replicate that setup on a fresh Arch install? Looking for something that covers the essential packages, configurations, and tweaks to get a similar out‑of‑the‑box feel. Thanks in advance!

Can’t you remove the specific Manjaro packages/configurations? I did this when I installed EndeavourOS, I removed ever endeavour-specific package and my “about system” shows “Arch” instead of “Endeavour” now.
I believe that this way you don’t have to lose any files.
This one is great
Pure Arch isn’t going to give you what you want. EndeavourOS is probably a better option. Nice installer, a relatively kind and helpful community on their forums, and you can use the Arch wiki to fill in the gaps.
I am not aware of any guides, but I know that in order to get the terminal to look like Manjaro’s, you will need to install the zsh shell with the powerlevel10k theme and zsh-syntax-highlighting. I believe they also use either zsh-autocomplete or zsh-autosuggestions.
At least, this was how it was configured back when I used Manjaro several years ago.
But why? Sorry if that is a vague question. Of it ain’t broke…
