>I don't know what a botnet is

AUR is a fucking joke.

People that use it are just too retarded to use other distros.

Any definition of botnet you have, chrome meets. Better call Daquan, he has a show to do.

hi john thank you for connecting to the botnets anonymous botnet

>>58251321
good thing it's almost all open source packages

>>58251402
then john gotted his KDE plasma rifle and he shotted the proprietary fags

>>58251377
Literally this.
Why would anyone use it when they could use a distro that actually supports the software they use.

For me its gentoo, for you it could be something else. But it most certainly isn't arch and the aur.

>>58251721
Because it has more documentation than any other distro. That way you can support yourself.

>>58251831
>citation needed
Though if I wanted proper documentation I would just use BSD.

>>58251862

Its pretty hard to fuck that up.

>I don't read the PKGBUILD before installing AUR packages

>>58251321

99.99999%? That's like 0.004 people. Try ~98.889%.

>>58251954
Actually the documentation doesn't list id's only names. Because it isn't good.

You're wasting your time, these tards are too busy shitposting to be bothered with checking the URL's in a PKGBUILD.

>>58252075
I don't think any amount of documention is going to help you if you can't even figure out what wifi card you are looking fro a driver for.

Anyways hardware support is completely unrelated to documentation past what was pointed out. Good documentation goes beyond listing what drivers support.

>>58251721
Do you really think all other distro maintainers vet every single package in their repos? Holy shit, you're retarded

>>58252191
Debian does.

>>58251954
That's horrible. So you have a wifi card and you have to look at every driver to find the one you want?

>>58252267
Wow it's almost as if computer have a search function or something

>>58251321
>check PKGBUILD
>it does standard stuff
>the upstream URL checks out

ez pz

>>58252174
Just pointing out that the documentation sucks and "good" that BSD users tout is misleading.

>>58252267
no. see >>58252174
If your card doesn't automatically work you search for the name on the wiki and you find the driver. This is the same process that you apply to any OS.
In fact its the same process that I have had to use on windows since windows doesn't support a standard intel ethernet controller(built into many intel bssed motherboards) out of the box.

>>58252213
Well they haven't added anything since 1937 so that's pretty easy.

>>58252346
The fuck windows are you using?

>>58252213
Then tell them to let us know if there is a botnet in the nvidia proprietary drivers

>>58252379
Both 7 and 8. Not an issue anymore since I don't run windows on baremetal but I digress.

>>58251377
AUR is fucking amazing.

People that are too jelly can only pretend to be epic elitist haxors like BSD NEETs

>>58252425
Yeah the 2.16 linux kernel doesn't support gigabit ethernet either, it really sucks running OSs from a decade ago.

>>58251396
Literally pic related. This board is fucking cancer.

>>58251721
A lot of the stuff on AUR you have to manually make and build on most other distros.

>>58252465
Literally everything on AUR you have to make and build on arch too. All pacaur does is automate the process.

>>58252436
Only amazing if you are an ignorant that doesn't understand autoconf and make and thinks failing packages is normal.

>>58252481
That's why he said "manually"

Making a package is not hard, its just nice to have a location where people have tested and taken the steps to ensure it works with your distro, not all of us want to spend time fucking with dependencies you fucking autist

>untracked files
I don't have that issue. Everything I use is in the portage tree. Even if it wasn't its easy to write a quick ebuild that uses the git or svn repo.

>>58252686
Uses portage,
Bitches about AUR,
Flawless reasoning.

>>58252738
nigger what? If you want to have write permissions to the portage tree you need to be approved by the core gentoo devs after going through an apprenticeship of sorts. I already said that all the software I use is in there. Anyone can upload a package to the aur.
You are free to complain about approved project devs if you want but then by your standards every distro is shit.

>>58252790
a PKGBUILD is very simple to create and vet

and being able to share it with everyone else shouldn't be considered a drawback-- that's just a thriving community.

Name another distro that lets you download your tiling WM but pre-patched with RICE GAPS and even ANIME WALLPAPERS

Protip: you can't

>>58253117
Portage supports patches for any package.

AUR BTFO

and its all preinstalled.

Arch is shit. Get over yourself you fucking faggots.

>>58255194

>>58251321
so read the PKGBUILDs before building them

As a former Microsoft cuck, I feel so comfortable using Debian/Ubuntu apt and repos to get packages. Just add the ppa and sync that shit. So much easier than even Binbows 10 store which is garbage.

It IS BOTNET YOU JEWGLE PAJEET

>>58251379
This is absolutely false, look at this for example: >>58251396

I agree that Chrome functions as a virus/trojan, it has lots of similarities with other kinds of malware and obviously have backdoors. They are open about it being a product they use to collect stuff for their ads and they want to make it a social media platform so it keeps 'phoning home' and collecting personal data.

But it does not have any DRM and does not have any license activation.

But it is cloud based and does have adobe flash pre-installed with all sorts of crash reporting. It is a proprietary way to do market research.

But it does not directly have anything to do with Google.

It does make content suggestions and do automatic syncing to Google.

But it does not directly have anything to do with windows 10, but it usually is integrated into smartphones.

>>58251321
>wow it sounds like a great fucking idea to have a repository controlled by 99.99999% untrusted users who can put malware and botnet in all their packages
Oh wow so literally exactly the way operating systems without a centralized package management namely OSX and Windows?

Shit nigger you're retarded.

Arch has AUR
Ubuntu has PPAs
Fedora has COPRs
openSUSE has OBS

They're all convenient tools to share modified packages that otherwise wouldn't make it into main repositories.
With the exception of AUR all of them provide a mean to distribute binary packages which is even more convenient.

There is always a risk involved.
Fuck off

>>58258094
Archfags act like AUR is the selling point of arch linux. They have to when they have one of the smallest repos of any linux distro.

I'm sorry you're too retarded to be able to look at the upstream URLs of a PKGBUILD before installing it, perhaps Arch isn't for you - maybe you'd prefer Baby's First Linux?
