If people want to provide a package with certain modifications, just let users get it off your git repo and build it themselves with the proper instructions. It’s not that much safer, but just enough that it should prevent this kind of widespread problem.

That’s already the recommended path.

It really should be shut down for Arch’s sake.

A long time ago I chose openSuSE over arch because of (among other) me being concerned with the lax use of the AUR by the community. One should just be somewhat mindful of what that thing is – it is pretty much the equivalent of clicking links on the web to download software for Windows. I think it should be used for what it was supposed to be.

The AUR was created to organize and share new packages from the community and to help expedite popular packages’ inclusion into the extra repository.

Maybe arch should adopt something akin to open build service and openqa to more quickly grow the extra repository which then can be monitored better?

kde + wayland on tumbleweed. Wanted to try other things, went for swaywm. NowI found out that krunner and kdeconnect are like 90% of what i need an OS (DE) to do.

I’m curious what your use-case is, that prompts you to write that is not usable for you. I have used Wayland on KDE for years without any issues. Even multi monitor setups with weird adapters and HDR seem to just work.

There’s hardly ever glory in prevention…

Because my grandpa can work with signal which is still encrypted communication. Thus its a low threshhold to adoption and significant increase in cyber hygiene. Even for his type of audience.

They must be competing for markethare - they need more users. If those AI companies really are getting by with VC and other crap debt only this MO can only be propped up by increasing user numbers.

I am using openSuSE for production at work, and also on my private main machine. The “killer-app” that makes this distro outstanding is snapper (for snapshot rollbacks), which is tightly integrated. It has a rather steep learning curve somewhere between mint and arch. But it is probably the most mature and stable rolling release distro out there.
