>>107600347>just use spyware infested zero-trust-repo>read PKGBUILD on every update>read through code changes on every update>do this for over 100+ packages every few daysNah thx, I'm not insane enough for this level of masochism.
>>107600568there has been 1 malicious package that caused you all to sperge out and it was called whateverbrowser-PATCHED and it was almost immedietly removed
>>107600587There were several, mostly with abandoned packages being taken over by random people from questionable countries.What makes this endeavor even more insane is the necessity to read through the pkgbuild on every update.AUR is impractical to the point where it becomes a maintenance and security nightmare, not even mentioning the compile time and power bill.Unacceptable in my book as I have a life.

>>107600332>>107600609Debian splits packages so the count is artificially inflated. I was considering switching to Debian but a lot of packages I need are not available, whereas they are readily available on Arch or the AUR. Compiling from source from the AUR is much less abrasive than trying to compile from source on Debian, you might as well be unironically running Gentoo at that point.
>>107602008BY that logic, move back to Windows.
>>107600227if i donate will they add more packages instead of relying on the (((AUR)))
