alvr as in the vr streaming program for standalone headsets? that's kind of a niche among niches. Linux VR users with standalone vr headsets that use that specific method.

I panicked a bit when I saw the news earlier today as one of those niche guys. Then remembered I had removed it for WiVRn a few weeks ago and don't have anything else off the AUR. Double niche win lol

EDIT: No, sorry, alvr was just one package, there is no specific source for the infection just one or many malicious users: https://gr.ht/aur_pkg_list.txt

I actually had the alvr bin aur installed on my old destop machine. Its just the only proper way for me on Quest to properly play any PCVR games. But i haven't used nor updated that one in a while. My new arch machine luckily doesn't have this installed but now im freaking out
