    Hilarious that it’s JavaScript again, truely npm, pypi and cargo are obvious targets. Also, guys, minimise your usage of the AUR! I don’t use any AUR packages.

    Core > Extra > flathub >>>>>>>>>>>>> AUR

    Not that core/extra/flathub can’t be pwned but it’s harder then the AUR.

        Not the one you asked, but it’s a case of priorities:

        • If you want it to just work, then the AUR is probably the better pick. Don’t get me wrong, through; most flatpaks should (mostly) work like how you’d expect them to behave natively.
        • But, (Op)Sec-wise, the verified flatpaks win. No contest. Simply, because there’s no third party involved in the process. (And I haven’t even gone over flatpaks’ superior sandboxing.)

        Minimizing AUR usage doesn’t necessarily mean not using it at all, but I would weigh those advantages carefully against the risk it brings. I would also recommend the people who don’t know what they are doing to not use it at all.
