Manjaro OpenRC breaks today with the updates from AUR:

Choose the kernels you want (In this example, linux413, linux412, linux49 along with the modules you want)
pacman -Syy linux413 linux412  linux49 linux413-headers linux412-headers  linux49-headers linux413-ndiswrapper linux413-tp_smapi linux412-ndiswrapper linux412-tp_smapi  linux49-ndiswrapper linux49-tp_smapi --config=pacman-manjaro.conf

this is a long command

Did you read the line above your quote?
Obviously if you don't choose all the packages in his example it is no longer a long command

Well you can keep the manjaro repo, but you need to be unstable branch or it will break your system. But I don't think moving to arch will not break your system anyway

Can you clarify what you mean here? (Yes English is hard). Your saying that moving to arch will break my system?  You used a double negative so I'm not sure what you mean.

Well you can change the grub theme if it bothers you. As for kernels, I personally use the linux hardened from arch and use pacman's "--config=" option  with a manjaro only pacman.conf that you could name pacman-manjaro.conf or any other.

Ex:
pacman -Syyu  --config=pacman-manjaro.conf
OR
pacman -Ss linux kernel  --config=pacman-manjaro.conf

I use the manjaro kernel's and git built ones, but --config= makes switching between profiles quite easy. And to reiterate, the manjaro kernels do work with artix. Just unsupported officially.

Maybe that will allow you more up to date kernel's while we wait for artix's linux non lts kernel.

But yeah, artix is a little behind core and a few sparse packages. We have few developers on top of moving/growing pains. We will get better and if not other distros maybe better for you. Test other distros in qemu or virtualbox. "Hope for the best, plan for the worst."

I use other distros too. They have only shown me different philosophies and ways of doing things. Yet, they have so far only cemented my love for arch or better still artix.

Are you holding off adding the extra, community, multilib repos because of your server? Once we get on the ball, keeping packages from these repos while not updating will probably break them. I seem to be stable at the moment while using them. Blimey, I even use multilib-testing, testing, testing-community repos from arch and the system is stable.

Anyone know when world and galaxy repos will let extra, community packaages from arch trickle in?

Edit: You have to run update-grub after updating/installing the manjaro kernels. Not sure why.

No, install archlinux-mirrorlist which creates /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch.

So after a small screw-up (didn't install broadcom drivers during migration) I am switched over.  I have a couple of questions now.  First off "pacman -Qm" is bringing up a load of packages still, would it be safe to remove all of them except the ones I know I installed from the AUR?
Second, what secondary kernels are available so I can keep have the lts and another for fallback reasons?
