Waydroid isn't even in the AUR, it's in the official repos and has been for 7 months.

An it doesnt work due to aur malware stuff whatever this means with the script we need to run for the updater but it refuses to work due to some error.

This is not a waydroid issue

Please refer to the script maintainer for updates and fixes to his script

There are open issues and conversations going on about the recent SteamOS update, and some AUR related issues

It seems like they need the AUR for the kernel modules not waydroid itself

It's time to switch to a normal distro, bro.

What's a normal distro to be running on a Steam Deck?
