Describe your issue

Documentation Issue

The first sentence of the "Fresh install (recommended)" section of the mamba installation instructions says:

"We recommend that you start with the Miniforge distribution >= Miniforge3-22.3.1-0."

My question is simply, should this instead be Miniforge3-23.3.1-0? I searched through the miniforge releases and couldn't find any 22.x versions earlier than 22.9.0-0. Also, it would make sense for 23.3.1-0 to be recommended here since it appears this was the first version that bundled the conda-libmamba-solver and mamba, making the Mambaforge and Miniforge3 installers essentially identical.

Absolutely! Thank you for reporting this!
If you don't mind opening a PR fixing it, that would be great :)
