With the unacceptably high levels of malware that has snuck into the AUR, I'm honestly not sure if I can recommend Arch linux and its derivatives anymore. As it stands, the actual arch repos are absolutely limited compared to Debian and Fedora's, so anything Debian-based and Fedora-based are gonna have the packages you need, while Arch very often doesn't without the AUR. But these large-scale malware issues (cont)

(cont) makes me feel like it just isn't worth it. Sure, you get so much more control of your system, but with the presence of malware in the AUR, I just can't recommend it. I think I'm gonna push some updates to my linux tier lists and remove arch from S-tier because of these issues, and how much arch relies on the AUR to fill in the gaps in software availability that the apt and dnf repos just have by default.
it really pains me to do that because I love arch, and have used it for years, but without the AUR, you just will run into issues with essential tools and programs not being available through pacman, and will need to rely on the AUR, and at this time the AUR is just not safe to use. If you presently use Arch, please check if you are compromised, and potentially reinstall your system and change passwords if you were
