Should conda, or conda-forge be used for Python environments?

Question

Conda and conda-forge are both Python package managers. What is the appropriate choice when a package exists in both repositories? Django, for exam

Answer 1

Anaconda has changed their Terms of Service so that "heavy commercial users" would have to pay, which doesn't include conda-forge channel.

You probably would want to stick to conda-forge if you don't want to pay for the usage. As stated in the docs:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict
conda install 

You could also use miniforge which has conda-forge as the default channel, and supports ppc64le and aarch64 platforms as well as the other usual ones.
