It's really unfortunate. I remember being excited about the pinephone. I had no idea this was happening behind the scenes.

Why elevate Manjaro if others were doing the work? Why was that decision made? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Thanks for all the work you've done!

Why? Democarcy I guess. https://www.pine64.org/2022/01/31/pinephone-community-poll-r...

(I don't know why, but it was the most popular distro in the pine64 poll)

Manjaro with Plasma Mobile had been the default for more than a year when that poll was conducted.

If you look at the results, you will notice that Manjaro is not the most popular distro for people who use the phone as a daily driver. This indicates that people who keep Manjaro are less likely to actually use the Pine phone as a phone.

So it seems that the reason it is the most popular is that is the default. If you look at what interface people like, the default (Plasma) only scores 21% in that poll and it falls to 18% amongst those who use the phone as a daily driver.

Yeah, that's quite likely.
