    I don’t understand any code so does that mean I shouldn’t use any software? that is 99% of the world.

    Not from AUR.

      Without the AUR Arch becomes a third world country distro because the official repos have only the basics.

        Arch has 17,000 packages and is one of the largest distros. If you want more, you can use Debian, or perhaps Ubuntu if you really need non-free drivers and codecs, (or maybe NixOS, which has a fuckton of packages, but you won’t get the same quality).

        And what do you need so many packages for?
