# Manjaro
|
|||
|
|
I will only include this one as a warning:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Do *NOT* use it!**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Although it might look nice and easy to use at first, its various
|
|||
|
|
scripts for maintaining the system are bug-ridden, filled with
|
|||
|
|
textbook examples of what **not** to do with `pacman` and with Arch in
|
|||
|
|
general (partial upgrades, forced downgrades of system-critical
|
|||
|
|
packages, fake improvements of stability, etc…)[^1]. Also, the
|
|||
|
|
association taking care of Manjaro is shady[^2]. Oh, and they
|
|||
|
|
don’t know how to properly maintain their forum[^3].
