I have to say, I'm VERY impressed by how responsive it has been! I expected it to be bloated and sluggish, as my previous experience with Gnome 3 on lower spec hardware has been. However, it's snappier than KDE+Wayland, there's not been any annoying overlays, and trackpad emulation works very well! (Though for some reason, when using tap-to-click, the lower right of the trackpad, which works as the right click in every other OS I've tried, does not. You have to do the two finger tap.)Do you have the steps to install Gnome3?
I think Gnome 3 might actually be a good DE option to give to the Manjaro PBP images. (Though I understand if the great people maintaining them don't use Gnome or feel like fooling with it.)

It was pretty simple, I just ran sudo pacman -S gnome
I intentionally left out gdm, as I wasn't sure if I didn't know if Gnome was worth keeping around. I also had some issues trying to install gnome-extra and didn't spend time tracking it down, but it's worth adding that to the install if you want the full switch.
After the install was complete, I logged out and chose Gnome (Wayland) from sddm.
