Why would someone "Frankenstein" EOS with other distro's repos?

However, the fact remains that whenever you add a third party repository to your pacman, you have to trust the source of that repo. The responsibility is only yours.

As far as I know it is risky to add repos from other distros other than Arch repos (unfortunatley) as some other distros have some nice features and apps.

@[FAQ] The dangers of using 3rd party repos

I see a lot of people using 3rd party repos. There are often discussions about the dangers of using AUR but it seems like there a lot less focus is on the dangers of using 3rd party repos. In general, using a 3rd party repo is much more dangerous than using AUR.

And this agrees with what @dalto said.
