See, e.g., the somewhat old https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7273#issuecomment-387782788 which says that one should not mix these (though requests for a reference for that go unanswered.)  FWIW, I nowadays use [mambaforge](https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge#mambaforge) , which defaults to conda-forge, and seems to generally work well on Windows and Linux.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/roryyorke","@type":"Person","name":"roryyorke"},"datePublished":"2023-01-21T04:37:33.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/850/python-control/issues/850"}
