Stop blaming AI, "noobs", youtube tutorials, and anything other than Arch for AUR usage
I've recently been made aware of the incident and was reading the threads in this subreddit. I have just started trying to migrate away from AUR but let's not forget that the Arch wiki recommends installing AUR packages constantly. The AUR isn't just a dangerous and fringe tool that people are led to by AI or sketchy youtubers.
To list a few that I've encountered just now:
- Want DDC/CI display control support? AUR
- Want ZFS-dkms or user space utils? AUR
The wiki recommend AUR releases like they are first class citizens all over the place... don't act like it doesn't.
