Honestly the damage is done. Manjaro has been an instant no from me dog for a long time. The name carries a negative connotation. Trust has eroded.

What happened?

Plenty of things, but the most obvious being the two separate instances they had issues with renewing their certs.

It’s more than that. Broken updates. Failed hardware ventures. The project has been shambling along for a long time.

and the certs lapsed again after volunteers built tooling to Prevent That

but somebody never set up the cron job to run it
