Thanks @sfmig ! Looks good.

Should we include this in our docs for our users?

Do you mean in the installation instructions?
Probably not? I'd say it's not our job to tell everyone how to configure conda.

Probably not? I'd say it's not our job to tell everyone how to configure conda.

I would say our job ends once we've pointed users in the right direction. I.e. we should recommend miniforge, but not miniconda. Other than that, it's up to them. Based on recent comments from Anaconda, I don't even know who can and can't use the default channels for free anymore anyway!

Our installation instructions begin by assuming people already have conda/mamba installed. Do you recommend mentioning to install conda via miniforge (in case they don't already have it installed)?

I think that's fine. I think we should just recommend miniforge if we recommend a distribution.
