===What is the difference between Flagship Editions, Community Editions and Unofficial Spins?===
* Flagship editions are maintained directly by the core Manjaro team members and are generally released on a consistent and regular schedule
* Community editions are maintained by the broader Manjaro team and are updated on a best effort basis.  How often profiles and ISOs are updated is up to each maintainer
* Unofficial spins are made by members of the Manjaro community using tools provided by Manjaro.  These ISOs can be made by anyone and contain anything.  Care should be taken to ensure you trust the maintainer before installing an unofficial spin.
