Good call out I’ll update the comments. From my reading it also seems like they take a lot from arch sources but don’t really contribute so another downside here
Their devs also broke asahi linux by pushing untested code, swapping out a part, which broke XORG. This, after trying to ship the project with a random dev build when the developers were clear, it’s not working. All while claiming “manjaro finally works on the m1 macbook” This could have broke users systems. Also, their ssl 3xpired at least four times. Something which should not have happened once, auto renewal takes about 10 minutes to set up.
Also, they don’t properly convey the danger that the AUR poses. It’s the linux equivalent of randomly downloading an exe from sourceforge but every time you update. We’ve seen fork bombs, malware, and on a large package hateful callouts to people who can “go fuck themselves” before calling an IP logger twice. All I wanted was to play wii fit man. The AUR is powerful, awesome, but ultimately dangerous. You need to read, and understand, the pkgbuild. It absolutely should not be enabled right next to flat packs.
I could go on. They’re not good at helping new users, they damage the open source community, they suggest dangerous things to new users, they ship broken tools without dev knowlage or consultation, etc.
To reiterate your comment, do not reccomend manjaro
No recommending manjarno :(
DDOSed the aur: 2 times
Let their SSL certificate expire: 3 time
I might have got my numbers wrong
Stuff that actually affect users:
Manjaro holds back regular packages by one day but not aur packages, leading to dependency issues
