   Do you even have to use pacman with Manjaro? I thought it had a nice GUI   
   package management system that can do all of that for you?

   I don't personally. I use Arch for all of my personal servers. However, it   
   could easily be installed and setup on a desktop.

   Archlinux starts from a very basic console install, with no GUI/desktop   
   environment. You choose what you want to install after that. Manjaro is more   
   comparable to Ubuntu where you have a full GUI after installation. I don't dig   
   too far into it to care to have an opinion on which is better or not though,   
   since linux is always about personal preference and what works better for you.

   Since my servers are all for personal hobby only, and in no way work related   
   or professional, I chose Arch since it's very bleeding edge, quite the   
   opposite of Debian. If any of this hobby was actually used professionally, I   
   would probably use a more notably stable distribution. *shrug*
