Make miniforge the default conda installation #13

Open jkh1 opened 3 months ago

jkh1 commented 3 months ago

Due to aggressive enforcement of their licencing terms by Anaconda, some institutions are now blocking access to anaconda.com because users often unknowingly connect to it due to it being the default. To avoid this, it would make sense that miniforge is used by default and that any non-free access require action from the user. Moving away from conda altogether would be a better solution (not easy I know).

See #12, also discussion at Bioconductor/basilisk#42.

Bioconductor/basilisk#40 is also relevant to avoid infection from Anaconda-default channels in user's .condarc.

Re. no-conda: this is unlikely to happen on my watch, I don't have the energy for it. More commentary at rstudio/reticulate#1583.

Sorry didn't see the PR. Thanks.
