If you spend some time looking into it you will realise how badly manjaro is run.

If a team can’t even manage to update their SSL certs in time (which is extremely simple to automate) and multiple times asked their users to set their system date back to solve it I really don’t think they are trustworthy when it comes to scraping user data.

It’s not that I expect them to use the data maliciously, I simply just don’t trust their security procedures when they fail to do something that simple.

Based on what, distrowatch? You do realise that's just showing what people clicked on distrowatch, not the actual numbers of users...
