Arch sisters the thing that never happens, happened again
why do they target the minorities? that's not fair
>>110062374The solution to this is repo jannies getting off their fat asses and just adding more packages to the official repos. The average to moderately advanced user should NOT need to use aur.The aur is just a convenient way for them to be able to brag about their distro having the most packages while at the same time not having to maintain them.Also the aur should just be a linux version of obtanium, where you just download signed binaries off of github, there is no need to have a whole separate system of accounts that can be hijacked or impersonated just to provide a pkgbuild.
>>1100630741. Absolutely proprietary2. Nobody brags about the number of packages3. Memearchy fags are hard at work making sure not a cent and increased server load lands squarely at arch's lap.The only bad thing about the AUR was the ease of taking over a forgotten package (which was perfectly fine before the memarchy fags, mind you. They made AUR a good target to create stealers of AI API keys).No package repository actively fights against typosquatters as far as I know.
>>110062374Windows doesn't have this problem.
>>110063074The official packages of Arch btw are being maintained by one guy in Wuhan
>>110062374AUR is fundamentally a broken model of doing things. There's a reason why every other Linux distro has user-created and controlled repos rather than one big dumping ground where anyone can take a name and put a build script under it (which, coincidentally, is the exact same issue as DNS trust)
>>110063391You're the one using an AUR helper in the first place, retard.
>>110062374Remember "Linux doesn't have viruses unlike Windows"?
>>110063398Buddy I don't even run arch, I run Gentoo. You really can't argue that the average arch user isn't a fucking retard who just uses a helper either because that's what everybody encourages
>>110063191You're right. Windows just tells you to go find winrar and pay for it.
>>110062374She's waiting for you. Make the switch today.
>>110063474>Gentoolmao overlays are literally worse than the AUR, also enjoy your barely maintained distro
our response, archsissies?
I use makepkg and don't use aur in general.
>>110062374>downloading literal who user content>surprised pikachu face>>110064764this, just make an LLM write you the pkgbuild
>>110062381the big fish eats the small fish bro, thats how this world is
>typo squattedDon't make typos
>>110062374Who the fuck are the people spreading all this malware and what are they trying to achieve?
>>110063561i love debian so much bros
>>110064853>Who the fuck are the people shooting all these fish in this barrel and what are they trying to achieve?
You can't even cope with muh official repos because there's a good chance the arch devs use the aur too and can get infected
yyaylmao
>>110064853>what are they trying to achieve?headlines spread by /g/eet wintards
>>1100634817z retard
>>110063398What's wrong with using a helper? It shows diffs.
>>110063599Bait used to be believable
>>110062374>Heh guise, imagine just blindly installing from the AUR! This would NEVER happen to me, I review EVERY SINGLE package I install, their install script and every binary they download every single time I update!This is what Arch users on /g/ actually claim. Guess what, they don't actually do this.
>>110063191windows doesn't get malware from unofficial downloads?
>>110063408Unironically Windows has always has better security than Linux. Linux only defense was "well, if you run stuff as another user, then - " but you don't actually do that on a desktop system.>B-but you can write an AppArmor profile-but the malware obviously doesn't constrain itself.Windows at least has some protection against bad binaries like SmartScreen and Mandatory Integrity Control and a preinstalled anti malware tool.
>>110063074These are install/compile scripts. Some huge amount of stuff aren't pre compiled, some stuff are too small to be considered a real package (like themes). AUR is good, you just have to be careful and only install legit packages.
>>110063191whoops! you've just downloaded the wrong .exe
>>110062374>the thing that never happensNobody said that would never happen, especially on the AUR.
>>110065981thisread the fucking diffs, it's a nothingburger
>>110062374The beatings will continue until morale improves.
>all shit deleted half an hour later>wow imagine the damage done! There will always be jeets in society participating in jeet activities - it is not news
