Agreed. There has been cases of malware sneaking its way into the AUR.

Now it could be avoided by checking PKGBUILDs and I can trust that the reader is checking those (are you, reader? ๐Ÿคจ). But do you have that trust for every user?

I prefer Void Linux's way of handling packages, where it all goes through one ultimately trusted git repo that gets packaged up if the license allows it, otherwise using xbps-src. If it was a bit less DIY compared to Arch I'd be hopping onto it tbh.

I used Ubuntu, during the GNOME 2 + Compiz days. God I wish for those days to have a comeback. I've kept a bit of an eye on Wayfire for that reason.

me, wondering why my VHDs in 86box kept disappearing until I realised I needed to set the permissions in my distro's Flatpak settings:

You say that but there are people who swear by the AUR for everything because it has everything or they prefer Pacman for everything lol

I used it after getting frustrated with the AUR. Never looked back unless the package wasn't on Flatpak or had an AppImage.

I got sick and tired of the AUR for the simple packages so I started using it for most things I would use the AUR for, and I'm very happy with it. I think some packages have issues with default permissions - I was wondering why 86Box would forget my hard drive images but then I realised the permissions on my home folder weren't set properly - but that can be sorted anyway.

I'll probably do that when Plasma 6 hits their main repos. I'm trying it on Arch and so far, I'm well pleased with it.

I've had my entire setup crash when I was updating the kernel.

EmuDeck is already implementing replacements on Switch and is looking at other 3DS emulators. They won't uninstall Yuzu from your Deck, but likely won't default to using them if they're installed. You might have to take a few extra steps with ES-DE or SRM.

I think the main issue with Content Nation, personally, was that it looked like an SEO spam site that was using the fediverse as its source for content scraping.

That being said, that still doesn't justify the toxicity from the paranoid nerds that targeted this guy. I was quite surprised when the Bridgy Fed stuff happened, but now, I'm not surprised in the slightest.

Take my upvote. There's nothing about Mastodon that Bluesky doesn't do for the average user and for me it's got an actual laid-back vibe where Mastodon feels like people trying to indoctrinate me into a nerd cult.

Sidenote, it'd be nice if Pleroma or one of its forks had the stronghold on the fediverse instead. It's got a lot more features than Mastodon and Bluesky.
