If you want a bunch of stuff that’s not in core or extra and you don’t want to intensely babysit the AUR, you could try Chaotic-AUR. It hosts prebuilt packages for a bunch of AUR packages which are actively maintained by the Chaotic team.
I consider it to be more secure than the AUR proper since they actually care for their packages and review nontrivial changes. For instance, the recent takeover attacks didn’t hit Chaotic-AUR builds since the changed packages didn’t make it past the review.
It’s still an unofficial third-party repository and closer to the AUR than to extra but I consider it a major step up.
Yes, but is it good, neutral, or evil?
it is arch
It is colorful socks
Yes
I don’t think Arch is right for you.
IT’S MAHVEL BABY!
I just recently reinstalled since I didn’t feel comfortable with how many AUR packages I had and ive been using ChaoticAUR exclusively now. Can confirm that its a great repo
