Anaconda - is using channel conda-forge screwing up the whole environment?

I've been having some issues recently using the navigator as well as Conda for installing/updating modules. Researching around a bit has suggested that adding/removing channels solves certain issues. For example, running ipython from the terminal gave me an error of missing modules for beakerx. So I decided to install it since its also requred by JupyterLab. However, a simple conda install beakerx wouldn't work with the anaconda-fusion channel that comes as default primary.

I found out that conda-forge is the go-to channel so I thought I might add it from the terminal. Now, when I launch the navigator, it kind of messes up the home screen, like so:

Whereas restarting the navigator after setting anaconda-fusion as the default channel, the home screen looked more normal:

Image_2

Also notice the first image has Orange 3 and Glue as being shown as outdated, whereas in the second image, no such updates are shown. Is there a way I could clean up the mess conda-forge creates since I would prefer using that instead of anaconda-fusion?

Never mind lack of answers to my question. I changed back the channel to the default anaconda-fusion and updated some libraries that were instead not showing up on the environments tab. Removed conda-forge to bring back normal startup. While updating certain libraries, conda-forge is automatically selected as a higher priority channel.
