# 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
dont know how to properly maintain their forum[^3].
