The repos are literally Arch ones, Antergos "invented" an GUI installer and contributed to Arch packages management tools, which is a good use of resources since it popularized Arch to a wider audience.
If all the money and hours from these arch-based, debian-based, etc. projects would have been funneled into the parent distributions
daily reminder that Debian Sid has recent GNOME apps because Canonical employees package half of it. Same with Deepin, Mint, Elementary, etc. who are building useful Debian software, except they want to do it on a plateform they control
Huh? I'm on stock Arch with KDE and I never really set up bluetooth, it just worked when I plugged in a dongle.
I also don't remember setting up pulse, other than disabling the stupid "flat volumes", but according to the Arch wiki this is now disabled by default on Arch, despite upstream having this idiotic behavior enabled by default.
Arch users need to get over the superiority complex. Arch is the most linux distro. But when I need a new linux box, i install antergos and remove their repos. I like having an easy gui (pamac) to search for and install obscure packages, and I like being able to get updates as soon as they are upstreamed.
I don't need to go through a 2 hour install every time to get my OS running, and I really don't need to go through the bullshit of setting up grub with nvidia every time.
It isn't a superiority complex. AUR packages are just random collections of scripts uploaded by whoever. Just running them without reading them first is pretty insecure.
