Hi,
The install from the Xfce ISO fails. I tried both Xfce images,
- manjaro-xfce-22.1.3-minimal-230529-linux61.iso
- manjaro-xfce-22.1.3-230529-linux61.iso
The Talos installer reasonably complains there is no network connection.
I tried setting up the network via the XFCE network manager… nope.
The system dump below.
Maybe a driver issue? I can confirm that the network comes up in El Capitan without a problem.
High hopes for Manjaro here! Just loaded on an old chromebook. With the exception of an audio driver, it’s a sweet ride 
… Heard good things about Manjaro on a 2009 macbook. Looking forward to reviving the machine!
Jeff
