      Yeah, was using vanilla arch before my desktop stopped working. My deck with a dock works, but discover was inadequate.

        Yeah 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.

            Yes but thats not relevant. Its like me saying windows users dont use the AUR and then you saying um actually im on windows and I run arch in a VM and use the AUR. Like ok thats still the AUR being used on arch.

            Like the topic is AUR malware and someone was like arch users and steamOS users. But steamOS users dont need to be worried or lumped in because they aren’t using the aur unless they’re also using arch through vm or distrobox or whatever.

            Am I making sense?
