>always install a package with "pacman -Sy package" even though this is incredibly dangerous and can result in an unsupported partial upgrade

What are other ways to BTFO "Performance & Security" people?

Use the AUR all the time and download as many packages from there as you can

I can tell you don't do this because if you'd tried you'd find it doesn't work. Programs throw bitch fits when your uid is 0. Although simply symlinking /root to your /home/<user> folder and setting up nopasswd sudo and nopasswd polkit (and making sure your system has no trace of xdg-su on it) will get you 99% of the convenience benefit

the only such programs are chromium which bitches because it can't do namespacing properly or some shit like that (just disable the sandbox ofc)

you can edit the source to comment out the part of the code that causes it to throw a fit

for example makepkg i think is just a shell script that you can easily edit. Dont even have to compile jack shit.
Youre right I dont do it becasue I have no use case for it rn, but the possibility is there.

I installed Brave from the AUR and do all my internet banking and investments with it.
