I actually agree with Linux Mint's decision. You can not trust any random upload. Either it's an official/verified upload, or it shouldn't be there at all (or it should be a separate app for those who want it). That's why in my system, I only install from the official debian repos and not the community ones. I just don't trust random anonymous uploaders.

AUR users fuming at this comment

Yeah, the AUR seems pretty dodgy.

Why? they don't like using AUR or what?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Anyone can upload packages to the AUR, and people often use it without verying the source, so yeah that can be dodgy

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

You use the AUR because you want more packages.
I use the AUR because I believe in humanity.
We are NOT the same.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
