A footnote in the article:

"I will go on the record as saying that Manjaro Linux is a bad Linux distribution and a bad place to send this money. They have a history of internal corruption, a record of questionable spending, and a plethora of technical issues and problematic behavior in the FOSS ecosystem. What limited budget there is to go around was wasted in their hands."

I use manjaro and I love it. Never knew the community was like this though. Does anybody have more information on the above?
