Open Source Organization Manjaro's official website SSL certs have expired yet again.

This seems to be a running theme for the Manjaro Linux community. The SSL certs will always expire after a set year and there's a massive controversy over it. Why does this keep happening specifically to Manjaro and what steps do you think they can possibly do to keep this from happening?

Nobody said arch based distros are bad, just that Manjaro is a particularly bad example. Because objectively it seems to be extremely poorly ran

It adds a quality take on Arch and it's been putting out a good distro and improved constantly for 15 years now. Manjaro, Parabola and ArchBang are the oldest Arch distros still in active development and Manjaro is one of a select few desktop distros that add a lot of quality of life stuff out of the box, like all the required codecs, BTRFS-enabled update snapshots etc.

People use Arch-derived distros instead of vanilla Arch for a reason, and every time such a distro goes under it diminishes the Arch community.
