      The wiki article :

      • specifically says that packages are not thoroughly vetted
      • does not recommend using yay or another AUR helper (which is the primary thing I recommend against)
      • has a frequently asked question section that is fairly technical and should indicate that it is not for the faint of heart

      The aur helper wiki has a fun red disclaimer at the top that no one reads

          it doesn’t mean anything if a large number of tasks the average user is going to do require AUR packages

          You keep saying this but can you give any concrete examples? I don’t recall coming across anything like this.

          To reiterate, I don’t think there is anything wrong with using the AUR. I think that using an AUR helper that ties updating AUR packages to your pacman -Syu is a trap that people keep falling into despite the warnings in the wiki.
