I had to stop recommending them after the last time this happened. It's so easy to maintain an SSL certificate at this point that there's no excuse. 🤦

I know a coworker who did the same with his certificates, maybe I should recommend him manjaro. They have a lot in common.

A bit of context is sometimes nice...

There's docker containers that do it for you, even Webservers / reverse proxies that do it automatically.

Not to mention if you're not using any of those for whatever reason, setting up certbot takes like 3 minutes.

Hey, free marketing. No one was talking about the distro, so they let it expire every time to get into the news cycle. Then they have an influx of people visiting the site, and they drop a new big feature/update to get more eyes on it.

Or they're just incompetent.

No reason not to use Endeavours these days, lazy man's Arch. Manjaro had a few issues and the opinionated approach regarding video codecs sealed it for me.

Purple Arch is the best.
