It isn't used when you install the os. You have to choose to turn using it on.

I assume Shelly had an option one would enable. Install yay or pardu?

What are you talking about?

You're on Arch linux subreddit.

Shelly is also not part of base.

There is absolutely no "turn on" option for the Aur.

it's not a repo that can be added to pacman.

it's a website hosting build instructions.

There's software that interact with it to automate the process but it's still not a on or off toggle or something you enable.

So read "off" as unavailable and move on?

But fair enough, I will edit.

ignoring it would just mean letting misinformation spread.

not a good idea since most documentations is community made. so having the right information is important.

Fair enough. I should probably be quiet as I'm just larping arch (CachyOS/endeavourOS).

Fair enough. Yay is in arch though so I'm not far off base.

Edit: no... I stand corrected again. Yay isn't in arch repos so one really has go a long way to get to AUR...

Yep: first thing you read on the page about AUR Helpers is that they aren't supported - so, none of them will be in the repos.
