Enable the PCSCD service. This happened to me after updating Arch yesterday. You’ll find details on the Arch Wiki if you search for ‘yubikey’.

There isn’t a source. It’s nonsense. Someone was arrested for encouraging violent rioters in the summer in English cities, and rightly so. It wasn’t a protest. It was violent, unruly behaviour by abhorrent thugs. This person sounds like someone who believes everything Elon Musk and Nigel Farage tells him.

I mostly used Ubuntu based desktop distros and frequently had issues with the 6 monthly update cycle. Problems with Fedora too. I have not had a single update issue with Manjaro. I often have different distros running in VM’s and whilst Arch has been the most reliable, most are not.

I also setup loads of Linux servers in my I.T. job that I used to have, so I have plenty experience.

The bottom line is Manjaro desktop has been ridiculously reliable for me. Therefore other peoples hate of it washes over me and is meaningless.

I’ve defended Manjaro many a time, despite the mistakes they’ve made. The main reason for this, Manjaro is the most stable Linux distro I’ve used.

However, the main reason I ditched Windows as my primary OS was telemetry (and bloat). If Manjaro introduce this, it absolutely must be opt-in.

I actually contribute to the Steam hardware survey as I want to ensure Valve, but more so hardware manufacturers, are aware desktop Linux systems for gaming and creative work are viable. But it’s my choice to contribute.

If Manjaro don’t implement this as an opt-in then I’ll be installing Arch. It will be a pain to configure my software again but needs must.
