I don't know why Manjaro 18 (Gnome) works for me?maybe I got lucky ;-); clean install, no damn boot args, everything works( brightness keys, trackpad on advanced, etc), power management works like a charm.
At first, I had a WiFi bug, which was fixed when I updated Manjaro using ethernet connection.
My laptop is Acer Aspire A315-41(Ryzen 5 2500u).Also, there will be no WiFi issues if you can use KDE version, but just find it very buggy and slow, so kept using Gnome
