Whoa, this is blowing up. Chill, guys. I really think that sucks. If anything, with Arch being bleeding edge and all of that, at least you’re showing early the tough wake up the other distros will have to do in relation to malware after Linux’ increasing popularity. Time to brush those SELinux and apparmor bits, even.
I use Ubuntu. Have slapped on a really pretty material theme. A couple of blur extensions. A cute furry wallpaper. Never felt the need to switch to anything else.
Using Linux is not a dick measuring contest (and man I hate these threads asking “why is your distro the best?” - it feels like trolling and sowing division and grief to me. A bit like asking a mother “What is your favorite child?”.)
But apart from that, I think we can all agree that security of AUR packages is no good enough, and that this deficit is by design.
Huh, you really feel schadenfreude over another reputable project being hit by/having to deal with malware? And all the people who might be affected by it?
That is not something that would ever cross my mind.
Me, a Debian user, watching that shitshow 😎
Me, a NixOS user, watching folks fighting over a bunch of legacy distros 😎😎😎

But, now, we Debian users are okay, (btw, 😎).
Debian users should receive their news 6-12 months after everyone else, change my mind

Some people likes tested and stable software. It’s weird.
Don’t forget that all the Arch users are doing a good part of that testing, too. Arch is a boon to Linux in general.
Out of date and stable software you mean.
Honestly, not even stable. Just arbitrarily frozen. Oftentimes with later releases having bugfixes that the user won’t see for another few years.
Did you TeX 3.14159265359 ?
That’s optimistically quick
Sincerely,
A Debian user
Should? Don’t you mean already do?
Upside to Debian! Never have to worry about shit like this. Downside to Debian, you have to use Debian.
More like: Upside to Debian, you never have to worry about the latest malware and bugs! Downside to Debian, you have to use yesterday’s everything…

Try installing Firefox through
apt.Nothing says “socialist vibes” like gloating over other Linux users

Or all the Arch users, who finish their comments with the iconic „oh, I use Arch btw”. Like a medal. Loool!

I mean, but this is arch.
And?
