I’m deeply sorry. If it’s any consolation, it will eventually happen to everybody.
Or at least everybody that didn’t see the light and adopt The Penguin… But let’s leave religion to another time.
FuglyDuckmanjaro has had a lot of drama and problems in the past and i don’t think it’s really a good distro to use. they forgot to renew their ssl certificate multiple times, they break software due to their weird update strategy (they use custom repos which hold back updates mostly arbitrarily for a week) which breaks dependencies and sometimes breaks the entire system, and their gui package manager once overwhelmed the AUR with traffic.

And now some feel as though they’ve bought a ticket for the Titanic and are heading straight for an iceberg… Back in 2019, we made the transition from a community project to a community-driven company and also used assets for commercial projects as a normal company would do. If an “exit to the community” or, in our case, ano...
