It's ArchLinux. The user is expected to do their own due diligence.

And these packages are from AUR, they are not officially supported. AUR means Arch User Repository. Anyone can set up their own repository.

I’m well aware. Arch isn’t my daily driver anymore, but I used it for many years before really committing to containerization.

My desktop OS is much less of a concern now, so I mostly use macOS. It provides a decent shell and otherwise stays out of my way. I use Windows for gaming.
