precious arch user repository

I think you vastly overestimate the importance of AUR. A lot of Arch users had to say something about the incident and many of them didn‘t even use it. It‘s definitely nothing essential.

Also Arch users still don‘t give a fuck about Windows. This whole AUR debacle has little to do with what OP was actually getting at.

    Maybe so. I use cachy just for the record, so I'm not piling on with linux hate. I'm just enjoying the madness of it all. :)

    FYI, CachyOS is Arch based. It has access to the AUR. If you weren't effected, that proves the point.

    The AUR is a repository of last resort. It's useful, but you should be careful. That's true even before this even. It's a repository made by users, and is not verified.
