Me when I have to compile something myself: :(
Me when I install something from the AUR: yay
Edit: I don't use Chaotic AUR though. I'm more lawful neutral.

  Hmm doesn't sound quite right in my case
- yay
  Btw, "sudobin" : "ssu" rocks, no password needed.
- I liked that
Just always write your own PKGBUILDs and never use the ones from AUR.
In fact, just write your own PKGBUILDs rather than using the Arch repos.
Make Arch Gentoo Again.
- I don't get all the noise around AUR being unsafe. Just verify the PKGBUILDS whenever you install or update something.
  
  Just verify
  requires basic programming knowledge or at least some time to get familiar with PKGBUILDs, and then they have to take the time to read it.
  Yes, I agree people should at least look up where it loads data from, but people are lazy.
- That would be slackware current.
Don't talk about chaos until you've used the AUR on Manjaro.
- You can have AUR packages on other distros through ditrobox btw
Call me traditional, but I find regular AUR to be chaotic enough.
At some point my arch system was more than half aur git packages.
So I just nooved to gentoo now and wait 5 hours for qtwebengine to compile for qutebrowser.
Don't regret it.
Reminder that compilation from source is absolutely futile to support because of the arbitrary nature of libs and deps on the machine at time of build and replication of the environment for repro. KThx
- Right, that's why I use Gentoo.
  Shit just works.
If AUR is a golden hook I am that fish.
What's this about chaotic being unsafe?
- You can't inspect pkgbuild with Chaotic since Chaotic compiles the packages for you.
