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.

There's not really any benefit of running Manjaro over Arch, it will only introduce problems over time. If you want a "pre-configured" Arch with a nice installer, go for EndeavourOS, it's great!
Manjaro has graphical tools that make it super easy to manage packages, drivers and kernel versions.
I‘m pretty sure you can install a GUI for pacman on Arch/Endeavour.
You can but there isn't a lot of choice, Octopi is pretty much the only other pacman GUI besides Pamac that's sufficiently fleshed out. All the others are either just package searchers or CLI-only.
And Manjaro also has the Manjaro Settings Manager, which includes the kernel management module and the hardware drivers management module.
I just wanna point out, people were using this exact same rhetoric when Antergos was a thing.
Antergos is no longer a thing. Just saying. Manjaro still is though! I believe it's older than endeavor OS.
Even if Endeavour stopped development tomorrow, I could still use and update my system normally because it’s using the regular Arch repos.
