• [$] A truce in the Manjaro governance struggle

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Sat Mar 21 06:40:09 2026

    Members of the Manjaro Linux distribution's community have published
    a "Manjaro 2.0 Manifesto"
    that contains a list of complaints and a demand to restructure the project to provide
    a clear separation between the community and Manjaro as a company. The manifesto
    asserts that the project's leadership is not acting in the best interests of the
    community, which has caused developers to leave and innovation to stagnate. It also demands a handover of the Manjaro trademark and other assets to a to-be-formed nonprofit association. The responses on the Manjaro forum showed widespread support
    for the manifesto; Philip M├╝ller, project lead and CEO of the Manjaro
    company, largely stayed out of the discussion. However, he surfaced
    on March 19 to say he was "open to serious discussions", but only
    after a nonprofit had actually been set up.
