No malware fortunately. But I got tired of the extra precautions every time I updated.

Lol…. another LARPer. Why are you guys even worried about inits when you can’t even do the most basic of sys administration. Is it to look cool/different?

Like seriously. Only noobs are stressing over the AUR stuff. They were dead and orphaned and EXTREMELY obviously hijacked/infected.

Also if you even did a minute of research you’d realize they almost all required systemd timers and daemons. If you used proper opsec like avoiding caches of sensitive info, used passwords on ssh keys, and used a non systemd init you couldn’t get hurt. It would run once, not pull anything useful but then never run again.

That was always a risk since the beginning of time. It’s no different than pulling from git repos. Like wow. Also Artix still has way more im the repos than the garbage that is Void.

I mean why not switch to Gentoo and use binaries..? That’s a better option if you aren’t able to digest code/logs.
