What are the advantages or disadvantages to using Manjaro instead of Ubuntu-based distros?

So the software manager for Manjaro is called Pacman, and I won’t have to deal with PPA’s anymore.

No, pacman is the package manager for Arch while pamac is the package manager for Manjaro, but both can be used on Manjaro since its based on Arch. There’s nothing like PPA in Arch AFAIK.

Does that mean I won’t have to manually search the PPA in order to find and install the latest version of software like I used to do on Ubuntu for example?

Manjaro already brings the latest software.

Also, I read that AUR is the default package manager for Manjaro. Does that mean AUR and Pacman are the same thing? Sorry I’m really new to all this.

Aur is a repo/collection of packages(application, library etc) not a package manager. pacman works with aur.
