I also installed manjaro at the beginning of this year, and I didn't really like it.
Pamac was not the main problem. I liked to use it.
The problem was, I didn't know, how to upgrade my kernel or how to fix if I deinstall linux, since I didn't install it myself. I'm not sure if that's a Arch thing or a Manjaro thing.
So I switched back to void. XBPS just works well. You don't need a void linux installer to setup void. Just use xbps-install while specifying the root directory. That's even easier than using the installer, especially if you want to do some slightly advanced stuff.
Updates to the kernel come regularly, and old ones don't get deleted until I do it manually, so if the new kernel breaks the system (mostly because of nvidia drivers), I just select an older kernel at boot.
I think, I'm a void maximalist now. Every other distro seems unusable to me. I would even recommend it to beginners. The installer should be good enough, even for beginners.
I might give alpine a chance, though.
