I would argue that it’s their own fault then. Laziness is not a valid excuse to put yourself so much at risk. If you start doing it consistently, it becomes a habit and won’t take much effort. Of course, the familiarity with PKBUILD syntax has a learning curve
But a peer-reviewing system would be a better approach in AUR. Weird that it’s not been implemented yet.
Just always write your own PKGBUILDs and never use the ones from AUR.
In fact, just write your own PKGBUILDs rather than using the Arch repos.
Make Arch Gentoo Again.
I don’t get all the noise around AUR being unsafe. Just verify the PKGBUILDS whenever you install or update something.
requires basic programming knowledge or at least some time to get familiar with PKGBUILDs, and then they have to take the time to read it.
Yes, I agree people should at least look up where it loads data from, but people are lazy.
