    I’ve been running Manjaro on multiple computers for years without any issues. What mistakes/goofs?

    Didn’t realize Arch finally has a normal installer now though. Will check that out next time I need a new OS.

      This handy document summarizes it better than I can, since I don't keep track of their numerous fuckups like how many times Manjaro has allowed their SSL certs to lapse. https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/

      Edit: I should also say I no longer have skin in the Arch/Manjaro game as I no longer use either one.

      Yeah, Manjaro is up there with freebsd in terms of bad fucking decisions.

      See the article shared by neo for specifics, but it's mainly an issue with them not doing decent code review, allowing things to break, and just poorly managing the project which leads to massive security vulnerabilities and bugs downstream if you aren't careful.
