I’ve made a point of not installing any AUR packages. It’s really tempting when there’s a package that’s not available via pacman, but at the end of the day I’d rather build from source myself or use a docker image.

Sadly they forced anybody with an older nvidia gpu to use some AUR package some months back.

I've made a point of always installing software via the package manager. That means making my own PKGBUILDs if there's not already good ones available. I don't want to ever sidestep the package manager and go `sudo make install` or something. That feels like taking a shit in your system directories and you'll never be able to clean it all up after a short while.
