I stay away from AUR because it is completely unsandboxed and unmonitored.
To be fair, I don’t believe flathub is constantly monitored, but at least it is (somewhat) sandboxed, if I set everything up in flatseal.
I have recently replaced my final .tar.gz app (git-credential-manager) with the builtin github extension of codium, and removed my final two ostree overlay with flatpak sdk extensions.
Tbf after searching for a just works distro and going down a distrohopping bunny hole I ended up on arch lol.
pacman -S gnome and everything is gucci + AUR is something else.
Yea I’ll stick with Arch for the AUR, so many times I’ve come across something I wanted to try and I see .tar.gz and I’m like ehhhh
9/10 it’s on the AUR

I am now happy (except I can no longer gpg sign my commit… https://github.com/flathub/com.vscodium.codium/issues/105 )
