I have been using Manjaro Gnome almost a year and love it. I have noticed recently updates are less. (Although everything is quite stable and works awesome).
As an example gcc version is 12.2.1 . there was a change in Arch news related packages from community is being moved to extra.
https://archlinux.org/news/git-migration-completed/
and pacman has different setup on Arch.
And also I noticed my mirrorlist is smaller and
I also use Arch on my desktop and it has gcc version is 13.1.1 (as an example)
I am aware Manjaro is Arch based but has its own specific setup
Do I need to do something
My mirror list looks like this ;

# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
# - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath

# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
