It works natively on Wayland. The UI uses gtk4.

I use a window manager on my desktop, and gnome on my laptop. Gnome’s gestures are amazing with a touchpad

If you used manjaro before, then I will recommend endeavour. It is arch Linux (same as manjaro) with an installer. I found their support forums to be helpful as an arch user.

I literally just installed it on a spare laptop. I was going to install the lts, but saw a new release and couldn’t resist. Things seem pretty good so far.
