When I am saying I don’t think it’s an exaggeration, I am reminded of these issues that were brought up before (this is mostly in regards to Pamac + AUR):
My only takeaway from the video is just to be careful when using the AUR. And that’s equally true for any other distro that uses it really. And yes I have used Manjaro for a while in the past, and during that time I did come across a handful of issues. I switched not long after there was some sort of systemd update that broke a lot of users desktops, unless you updated using a TTY or something like that.
