minus-squareSamsy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 days agoIs AUR more risky than before? Nope. But this targets more people than ever. StreamOS and CachyOS are pretty popular these days.
minus-squareTheRedSpade@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 hours agoYeah, was using vanilla arch before my desktop stopped working. My deck with a dock works, but discover was inadequate.
minus-squareFizz@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·51 minutes agoYeah but thats not really steamOS using the aur. SteamOS using the aur would be unlocking the root folder, doing a pacman update and then using the AUR which I assume very very few users do. I only mention this because everytime arch is mentioned steamOS gets dragged up as if its the same thing when they’re worlds apart. Using the AUR via distrobox can be done on every distro.
