Does the AUR only exist because the Arch devs are lazy?

why are they allowed to upload packages at all?

we warned archfags about this years ago

My victims use Arch btw

>>106140506
Every single distribution ever made has user repositories. Debian has the unofficial user respository, Slackware has Slackbuilds, even MacOS has Brewsh and Windows has Chocolatey.

AUR gets attention because its' by far the most popular, complete, and up-to-date user repository out there out of any OS. Not actually because any of the devs are lazy. They have different standards for what gets into their repository.

>>106140486 (OP)
but I thought Linux has no virus???

>>106140543
what other distro starts with no desktop environment so im not stuck with chunks of garbage? i will NOT use KDE or GNOME tthey both have annoying notifications ((ALL notifications are annoying BTW))

>>106140486 (OP)
I'm surprised nobody put malware into one of those Flatpak packages with --filesystem=home or --filesystem=host

>>106140529
this

>>106140486 (OP)
I just point Grok to the AUR repo and tell it to evaluate the safety before I install a package from it. It's never failed me.

>>106140529
you are so right sister, ID verification for aur package cant come soon enough

>>106140486 (OP)
Don't you have to download the script from AUR just to install it? Does this even matter to people that just use pacman?

>>106140574
it would be pointless because nobody uses flatpak. They try exploiting the AUR because it's popular enough to be worthwhile.

>>106140757
Older version in Ubuntu clones. There is valid precedent of "-stable" being a desirable package.

>>106140762
Your distro got compromised years ago, be happy most people don't remember.

>>106140486 (OP)
You don't have to use AUR to use Arch.

>>106140630
do you think grok actually "analyzes" the repo? are arch users really this dumb

>>106140774
typically if have to do extra work i say forget it and find another package cause im fucking lazy

it doesn't matter how much you retard proof the system if the grifter linux ecelebs are just gonna tell the windows refugees to bypass those safety measures without a second thought

>>106140566
Ubuntu server

Why the fuck does anyone use Arch anyway? Is it just purely for people that want to sound cool but are too retarded to install Gentoo?

Normies GTFO

>>106140871
this exactly if you are not ready to put in a little bit of research use something else

Nobody uses the AUR. core and extra have absolutely everything you need.

>>106140919

lol no.

>>106140949
What do you need that's not in core or extra?

Tumblweed doesn't have this problem

This

AI users are actual fucking retards

>>106140557
But compared to something like Debian or Ubuntu, you're more likely to have to resort to user repos if you're using Arch.

>Approximate number of pre-compiled packages:
>>Arch Linux: 13,751
>>Debian: 171,937
>>Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu: 110,066

>>106140803
it looks at the page, reads the files, talks about them referencing specific contents and is smarter than humans, what more could you want from it?

>>106140686
I can guarantee you Chrome is never going to be stable. Also, if you're using Chrome on Arch at all then you've fucked up.

>>106141058
This tradeoff is a great point. As a counterpoint, it is a LOT easier to write an Arch pkgbuild file than it is to do whatever the fuck Debian wants you to. If you want to make a lot of your own custom packages, Arch makes it easy (although this disparity may not be what I think it is, as I just learned of https://www.makedeb.org/ )

>>106140979
ya but it has lots of other problems

>>106140970
Not him but I got Prime95 from the AUR. That's about it.

>>106140486 (OP)
Lmaoing at arch-sissies

>>106140486 (OP)
This is why you should only use enterprise distributions like Ubuntu LTS.

>>106141085
Not as much as (You) do

>>106141214
Because Ubuntu is immune to malware and hacks right.

n00buntufags just cant understand how /comfy/ arch is

i use it btw

>>106140486 (OP)
kek arch is truly the mint of distros now

>>106140557
>even MacOS has Brewsh and Windows has Chocolatey
These aren't official, same way with external debian repos, aur is more or less a way to package shit by users that's integrated within the distro's package manager, it would be somewhat like fedora's copr, opensuse's obs or ubuntu's ppas.
And it's been always common knowledge that you shouldn't blindly trust some aur package because they're not "official" but anyone with an arch installation can upload them, so a hacker can upload them too there, the same way someone could upload malware to copr, ppa or obs.

>>106140686
>segs.lol
lol

>>106141300
Technically ubuntu did this to themselves, if they did stick with regular deb packages uploaded by them and having this as a secondary way of getting applications they wouldn't have found themselves in this junction.
But I guess this is more or less the mentality with android of everything goes and when something's discovered they pull the plug, but the damage is already done, at least apple, for better or worse, actually tests the applications to do what they should.

Just install firefox and not firefox-browser-saar
it's that easy

>>106141859
You retarded or something? AUR isn't integrated into Arch package manager. You can build packages from AUR and only then install them with the package manager.

I'm just glad the "Linux dosen't get viruses" people got humbled. I remember the same happening to iToddlers with shit like MacKeeper and Apple responded with Xprotect and Paid App Approval making Macs padded cells.

>>106140529
They will just buy/phish accounts if age restrictions get added. Look how many spammers buy reddit accounts.

>>106141939
Makepkg is downloadable from the arch repos, and it only takes a single command to build and install a package last time I used it 10 years ago.
But yeah, the point is downloading some aur manager that does the job for you.

The funny thing is that it's such a rare occurrence that it becomes news material when it happens.

>>106142023
You sure as hell can't do it in 1 command.
1st command git clone to DL the package
2nd command cd packagename
3rd command less PKGBUILD
4th command makepkg
5th command sudo pacman -U packagename

So it takes 5 commands. If you're stupid you can skip the 3rd one. You'd need to create or download some automation tool to do it in 1 command.

>>106142087
Doesn't makepkg -si compile and install the package?
And obviously I omitted the clone commands.

>>106142244
Yeah you could reduce it to 4 commands with that.

>>106140564
You don't think.

>>106140686
Okay that's funny

>>106140871
Pewds specifically said to avoid Chrome. This was a test to see who is white.

>>106140630
im sure grok will protect you anon

>>106142376
Chrome isn't even in the Arch repos. Imagine someone going out of their way to install that crap on Arch.

>>106140762
I still recall the day I decided to get into linux and installed that shit was the day the news broke that their website got hacked and the ISO-s got replaced lmao

>>106140633
This. Nixpkgs has pretty much the same stuff like AUR but every contribution is actually checked by developers.

>>106142464
That package has been long deleted. What did you point it to?

>>106141859
But Winget is.

>>106142491
Lmao some bad luck right there
Iirc the torrent version was clean.

>>106142753
But the anon said chocolatey, which isn't, I'm fully aware of winget.

another day, another malware in the AUR... you love to see it.
