Guys pleaseee pamac is a good tool. It helps users to choose better things in life 
The EndeavourOS forum users are right. Get your asses up and implement some mechanism to detect harmful PKGBUILDs instead of constantly reminding users that āAUR is unsupportedā.
I came from manjaro but switched to endeavourOS a couple of months ago.
Basically I didnāt even know what the aur was because I thought (which I was probably not the only one) that pamac is an extension or something really similar to pacman which is also true but when you donāt even know then its kinda meh.
Because well I was new to Linux and wanted to install ProtonVPN but on the website there only a guide for pamac so I just copy pasted some commands without even knowing what I did 
OK, I not sure how this topic went from āThe AUR is downā to āAUR outages in the past were caused by pamacā to āManjaro sucksā and āpamac is terribleā
That being said, I want to remind everyone of a couple things:
Going forward, please try to move the conversation in an positive direction.
I donāt know if pamacās terrible, but I do know that it is utterly dispensable.
Hmmā¦I feel like that quote might be out of context a little bitā¦ 
Just to express, that I donāt want to bash pamac. (And I know your intention to avoid this thread from going f*** pamac or f*** Manjaro.
I just think Manjaro slowly moves away from certain arch linux principles
Thatās a bit unfair, because it was contradictory to [true] Arch principles from day one 
A entirely new thread could be made out of this discussing If derivative distros should follow the principles of root distros!!!?? but as far I understand generally the existance of a derivative like manjaro is due to the presence of some conflicting principles only which is totally okay. I can also argue that by saying Keep It Simple Stupid arch means that thereās shouldnāt be a distro with some gui installer but thenā¦eosā¦coughā¦cough. So letās not discuss manjaro here 
Or we could not create a topic like thatā¦
Itās not really bashing if itās what actually happened. Whether the truth is good or bad is relative to the perspective at the time. The truth just is. Itās impartial.
But I can see where someone who has a different perspective on what they feel happened could be hurt. Sometimes folks just need to grow up a little and realize occasionally we all make mistakes. Itās part of life.
Pointing out that something happened in an objective fashion is not ābashingā. Calling them team/distro names or being generally derogatory is.
We should be good then so far. I havenāt read word for word but so far itās just good honest discussion.
Keep it honest.
That is because there were posts so far over the line I had to delete them and they are no longer visible.
I think we can come to terms here
May we should go to blacklist words like: pamac AUR Manjaro at all on the forum ?
100% on board with this one!
Moved this thread to Lounge
WRONG!!! Move it to clownge 
Pamac/manjaro is a double edged sword. Yes its great having a really user friendly distro with plenty of guis to make it easy for users coming over from Windows. The downside is a lot of userās who have no interest in learning pkg builds/how things work and perhaps arenāt/will never be ready for arch will just continue to use things without knowing the consequences.
Personally I like pamac as i just prefer a gui for browsing software/packages. Beauty of linux is choice for me , hopefully more people will learn how things work rather than blindly just using their pc
