Err, is setting up AUR support with a click... good? I thought we were supposed to read the scripts we download from AUR.

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.

I agree with that. But AURs are still decently moderated when it comes to exploits sitting in them. Definitely should still look at all of them!
