It's ArchLinux. The user is expected to do their own due diligence.


And these packages are from AUR, they are not officially supported. AUR means Arch User Repository. You cannot even use Arch Linux's official package manager to install AUR packages either, you need an AUR helper ("makepkg" is sufficient though but it has limitations). These AUR helpers are not even official packages either. Not even yay: https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=yay.


I’m well aware. Arch isn’t my daily driver anymore, but I used it for many years before really committing to containerization.

My desktop OS is much less of a concern now, so I mostly use macOS. It provides a decent shell and otherwise stays out of my way. I use Windows for gaming.
