    I only use official and flatpak, I wouldn't even use flatpak if official had more.

    Chaotic aur might be worth looking into if aur is what you want. Everything there is theoretically checked.

    Are you sure about chaotic? I removed it as I thought it wasn't really checked as I read in a comment here.

    I'm not sure of anything, I would look into it further were I planning on using it, which I might do in the future, Garuda KDE lite looks like a decent distro.

    From the little I have looked into it, it is all meant to be checked, adding an extra layer of protection, as long as your trust the people behind it (much like official I guess)

    all they have to do is to check the damn diff, if that's not easy for someone then they should stop using a computer altogether. I mean they could just click to random links on the internet right?
