i donload iso from broser (https://download.manjaro.org/xfce/25.0.8/manjaro-xfce-25.0.8-250902-linux612.iso) and forget to checksum. i install os from this iso, but later i remember and do checksum by total commander. i received: 9e6dd7b99f93d8c4af6ed70261ec5bd7beb2c167cd21d5ff6d7e07626955042d
but in information is another numbers:
6a290fafc3d341e94fd41fcefd0dad7e39bfdc0c62efa5b0669069c06772bc97
after that i download iso from torrent, do checksum, and all correct: 6a290fafc3d341e94fd41fcefd0dad7e39bfdc0c62efa5b0669069c06772bc97
web and torrent iso’s is different.
The iso from the website is fake and contains viruses? What should I do? If I install from an image that matches the information on the website, will I be safe?

I just downloaded the official XFCE ISO from the website, and the sha256sum matched. Perhaps your download got interrupted. I recommend reinstalling from an ISO whose sha256sum matches.

ok, thanks! I’ll reinstall the OS from a normal iso

Not fake and unlikely to contain viruses

Check a Downloaded ISO Image For Errors - Manjaro Wiki

it is strongly recommended that you first check that it hasn’t been corrupted. The consequences of not doing so, especially if you intend on installing Manjaro as your main operating system, should be obvious, that is that a corrupted image will result in a corrupted installation.

The first time, the installation went smoothly, and everything seemed to work. After that, I reinstalled the system from a regular ISO image. I’ll need to check the browsers to make sure they load correctly. There might be issues with Firefox.

I checked the problem - it’s not the antivirus or the internet provider. Either the computer is dying, or the problem is with the connector on the PC, which also can’t be fixed. This topic is closed. I’ll go look for the cause of the computer failure.Thanks everyone!

FWIW unstable hashes tend to be a matter of unstable DRAM (-speed settings). The hashing algorithm runs literally tens of billions of bits through RAM/CPU, where any single bit-flip causes a hash mismatch.
