    Did I just find next distro to try? :) Kudos to them anyway (yay, that’s the kind of news I want to hear)

      Doesn’t look like it. But the project will now go to the to-be-founded non-profit association.

      Philm actually replied around the time of your comment, sharing his disdain that this plan was set in motion, while as company owner he has no one to talk to legally, since the association has not been founded yet. He’s supportive of the move, and technically he’s right. The association should’ve already been founded, to be fair.

      I hope this means Manjaro will thrive!

        Manjaro will become even less well maintained because the people working on it will spend their time managing this crisis instead of doing productive work on the distro.

          as an outsider, reading the forum discussion, the split is not the crisis, the crisis is already ongoing, and the split from the company is actually a step towards a good solution. Also, the discussion tone seems to be very constructive.
