Arch also warns uses about AUR, use at at your own risk, and can break your system.
My approach isn’t definitely not the best solution, I was saying this is only the beginning, and with other arch based distros also using AUR only gets worse, if there’s any moderation and some kind of package control before publishing then when thins get real bad maybe too late and arch starts loosing users.
Now is just some packages, later could be some popular package take overs or some kinda spoofing of other packages.
I use arch BTW (since 2011), and Debian Armbian on Raspberry Pi, one is rock solid the other sometimes break with updates
I think we’re broadly in agreement here, and I think both our statements are important to the Linux discussion. Moreover, we’re not speaking privately - I wish I could direct recent converts from Windows to this thread as a whole, as you offer good advice - be wary of your sources & learning how to inspect gifts you’re offered is excellent advice.
