The AUR was disabled by default on my install. I use flatpak for a lot of stuff so I’m probably pretty up to date with my most used programs. Where did you hear about this community donation scandal?
All the petty downvotes makes me think Lemmy has become a bit too much like Reddit. The whole “downvote everyone’s opinion that isn’t my opinion” is pathetic.
I don’t really care about what’s popular. With all my installed programs I use to get shit done, I can’t distro hop every other month like some people.
Manjaro is an okay middle ground. It’s got the benefits of Arch but a bit more stability. It still breaks, but maybe once a year. I get work done on it.
I would be playing it, but their attempt to break existing mods put a bad taste in my mouth.
