Describe what maintenance you would like added.
Installing PyVista with conda is apparently very different compared to installing from pip. First, it seems to install vtk-base, not vtk, and second it seems to ignore Python version requirements. This can lead to compatibility issues which may be difficult to resolve (see #8112).
I think we should either (1) add CI jobs to properly test conda installs to make sure they're not broken, or (2) add documentation in README or wherever conda is mentioned in the docs to indicate that this installation is untested and may be unstable, and that installing with pip is the canonical and recommended way to install pyvista.
I do not use conda and in fact try very hard to avoid using it, so I am personally leaning toward option 2, though these options are not mutually exclusive. We can roll out option 2 first just to document the status quo, and someone else can implement option 1 at a later date if we want to add official support for this.
