I regret to say, Manjaro Linux, maybe no more.

@BrodieOnLinux did a great job explaining the current drama (see YouTube URL, below). But the summery is there is a bad faith individual who claims to hold 50% (half) the rights and is not playing well with others (not working with the developers or the community).

As for the forum being unlinked on the webpage, it still exists under the Help menu. As for it looking more Corporate, that happened 2 years ago. I can't find any significant difference when comparing on the waybackmachine copy of the page from last month.
Manjaro 2.0 Manifesto

To me, it seems a bit like the ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’. Many of us were part of the Manjaro project from the very start, whilst others joined us later on our shared journey. 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...
