After I click "start using manjaro linux", nothing happens, it just stuck

Okay, how much effort are you willing to spend on this? Steps to fix this:

  1. Bypass root login from grub by pressing e and appending single to kernel parameters
  2. Create password for root with passwd
  3. Create a normal user with useradd -m -U -G wheel audio input kvm lp storage users network power autologin -s /usr/bin/zsh <your_username>
  4. give your user a password with passwd <your_username>
  5. Reboot
  6. Profit

When there is an existing user, the gnome-initial-setup will not run and you can just vhoose your user from gdm. Your language and keyboard is going to be the default en_US, but you can change those later.
