Honestly why not? You'll be dead, what does it matter what you do in your final hours? I'd just carry on as was. If you're religious, then death is just the next step, and your last day won't mean much. If you're not, you're about to cease existing, what would it matter to you then.

Just relax, eat chips, and doom scroll your way to death

Wait, isn't that the guy who got caught smuggling chess shaped butt plugs into the international museum of chess exhibits?

Thanks for the suggestion, that sounds like a very fun timesink. I'll check it out the next sleepless night I encounter

Not safer than the aur? Where you run a random script from some random guy who is likely unassociated with the project which has very little chance of being audited?

Or a normal package? Which has no sandboxing at all. In that case, yes, one could have a poorly sandboxes app, but the vast majority have some to a larger amount of sandboxing. On top of that, they come from a much more heavily audited place than the aur. It is, on average, safer than the average normally packaged package. Some sandboxing is better than no sandboxing

And no, their warning is not nearly enough. They should state that a person needs to read any package build script before installation and its diff while updating unless they verify the packager is the project maintainer for the application they use

I used manjaro first but after hearing about the incompatance of the devs I made the switch to endeavor.

To justify, they've ddosed the aur accidentally twice, their lead arm dev pushed a commit to the asahi kernal that broke half of the users installs, they tried shipping that kernal while it was very much in development with a broken kernal which couldn't actually run while pretending that "manjaro runs on the m1 macbook" (this could have broken users hardware), and they don't properly tell users the dangers of the aur like the time a guy put two calls to an IP logger beside a list of people who can fuck themselves or an on init fork bomb. This should not be a toggle directly next to snaps and flat packs, which are safer than a normal package.
