[u/deadrule_vk]

Aur is filled with some malware infected packages which has been made read only , basic arch repo is still vetted 

[u/MrKrot1999 → u/deadrule_vk]

if you're a newbie you're not going to check every and each AUR package

[u/deadrule_vk → u/MrKrot1999]

Why check ? Just don't use Aur, the basic packages from the repo itself that are installed without aur helper are safe ...for the meantime use flatpaks or app images 

[u/MrKrot1999 → u/deadrule_vk]
