What software only works on Arch? If anything I see stuff that’s packaged for arch but can be installed from source on other distros without issue.

Ubuntu-only software, on the other hand, is infuriating

There’s a lot of content packaged for the AUR that isn’t readily available to people using less enlightened distributions.

I use Arch BTW.

Seriousposting: a lot of software just isn’t packaged as deb or rpm because no one has taken the time to do it. The AUR is really fucking convenient as an end user. And yes, you should always skim AUR packages to be sure they’re doing what they claim to do and aren’t garbage, anyone can post anything. I have seen a lot of trash uploaded to the AUR.

I used to think the A in AUR stood for anarchy

OP said “only available for Arch” not “only packaged for Arch”. These are not remotely the same thing.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
