But why? Just pick a new name and fork, if there's something worth preserving in the distro contents. I don't understand what the something is though.

    They aren't stupid to abandon the brand and community just like that and start from nothing. The team plans to start a nonprofit that will work alongside and not under the current Manjaro company. They do say that if Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG declines, or the feel that they are dragging their heels (which they have done) they will start a strike. They are doing this rn. If that fails then they will just move to the next stage which is to leave and/or fork the project.

    Manjaro itself is basically a fork of Arch, I thought. I'm not sure what its attraction is supposed to be, but I'll take your word for it. I similarly don't understand the attraction of Ubuntu over Debian.

    But why? Just pick another arch or arch-based distro like Cachy, Endeavour or even KDE OS.

    Manjaro has been a slow sinking ship for too much time, anyone wasting their time with it is equally responsible.
