    arch doesn’t ship an aur helper pre installed. It’s the derivates leeching the arch aur infrastructure and preinstalling aur helpers suggesting it’s safe to use as is

      It’s the derivates leeching the arch aur infrastructure and preinstalling aur helpers suggesting it’s safe to use as is.

      So, Arch users do not depend on AUR? If so, that’s easy to fix. Just delete any mention of AUR from the Arch wiki.

        The Arch Wiki describes the AUR in plain terms: it’s a user-submitted community repository of software, not warranted to be safe or even vetted by Arch maintainers, packaged to be friendly with pacman.

        If you’re doing things the “Arch way” the differences between the AUR and officially supported packages should be obvious, and you should at the very least skim the PKGBUILD files to understand where things are coming from and how they work.
