Yep… Validation of my decision to cachyos after my last drive needed surgery.
This is literally why I stopped using Manjaro.
I’ve botched 2 Manjaro installs just doing a
pacman -Syuwhile their certs were expired and I ended up with an incomplete upgrade.Never once had this issue with EndeavorOS.
Doesn’t happen with Antergos either.
I mean, I’ve gotten a NXDomain error ever since they shut down, but at least it’s not a certificate expiry!
I jumped ship after 2 times. Such a shame because I loved the OS but this is the opposite of what I expect a distro to do.
Holy shit this is so stupid I can’t defend them anymore 😂😂
Again??? Again???
BINGO!
In fact I got a full 5x5 card of bingo because I wrote “Manjaro doesn’t renew its cert” in all of the boxes.
Why isn’t this an automated processs for them?
Why isn’t it for everyone? How often I see this with, I mean, major actors is head shakingly baffling.
I wonder if they are still on an old cert system.
This came up last time the cert expired iirc.
Tl;dr one of the founders is holding up the infra not allowing any change. According to someone who worked on Manjaro, it was trivially easy to get this fixed, but that single person simply wouldn’t approve it. Last I checked they sent the founder an ultimatum: either hand over the project or see the staff walk. I suppose the staff walked.
Sad. With FOSS you have to be able to let go.
some iconic duos in the Linux community: Arch and AUR malware, Ubuntu and bad updates, NixOS and community/team members leaving, Manjaro and failing to renew its cert.
Debian and shipping broken packages
Bruh what? I went to debian for server because of stability. It only updates like once a decade and still ships broken packages?
you forgot the oldest of them all, Debian and the its museum, their repos
Welcome to Linux, do you want the BenevolentDictatorOS, WeaponsManifaturerOS, MalwareOS or Debian?

Ubuntu and bad updates
This is the only drama in your list I’m not familiar with already. What/when did they last break?
Recently, the nvidia-dkms driver updates wouldn’t build for 5.x series kernels, so if you hadn’t cleaned up old kernels, the update bombed out before updating the initrd filesystem, the system couldn’t boot without intervention. Thankfully, I noticed before trying to reboot my work desktop, and the solution was “apt autoremove && apt upgrade”.
But the install media for my desktop at home was 18.04, and it’s running 26.04 now. It has an AMD GPU, so it hasn’t had update problems.
Is there a running tally somehwere? I need something like the credible defense guys’ “0 days since airplane dropped in oceans”
At this point… Why aren’t Linux users tracking the certificate and notify them?
You might as well be asking why people found porn in bushes in the 80s.
Or what ball lightning is.
Or what is zen.
“floorp”, really? lol thats the name?
The name of the web browser being used there, yes.
Give me your money take me seriously without my own investment. floorp today.
Manjaro once again demonstrating they’re not a serious distro/project, hahaha
At this point, it’s a tradition!
HOW THE FUCK DID THEY MANAGE IT AGAIN
Why set a reminder when an expiration will do the same job
They managed this again by not actually managing it… again.
They have embraced the meme
HAHAHAHAHA
oh my god AGAIN?!
They gotta be trolling the entire linux userbase at this point.

The certificate for manjaro.org was renewed only a few hours ago. Given Manjaros track record, they probably let the cert expire (again) and fixed it since the original screenshot was taken.
The screenshot seems to be taken at 1:50 utc, and the new certificate was valid from 00:18 utc. It is possible though that they just.enrolled the cert too late.
