No recommending manjarno :(

DDOSed the aur: 2 times
Let their SSL certificate expire: 3 time

I might have got my numbers wrong

Stuff that actually affect users:

Manjaro holds back regular packages by one day but not aur packages, leading to dependency issues

Good call out I'll update the comments. From my reading it also seems like they take a lot from arch sources but don't really contribute so another downside here
