Discussion on: Arch Linux: Stop recommending people to use makepkg for the AUR

No you're not understanding what I said. I prefer AUR helpers, but as a maintainer I also didn't like it when random user's helper didn't work (or there was some super simple problem with the PKGBUILD), and they would then blindly copy paste those error messages to ping my mailbox each time.

Doesn't matter to users (Arch's overly complex as-is), but kinda does to maintainers and those who wanna help out in the forums, IRC, etc.

Yeah I know I'm just saying that AUR helpers are good 😋

Yep that's the toxic Arch users but I intend to change that and help users in a positive way instead of saying "read the fucking wiki" and acting arrogant.

Yes Arch is and can be complexed but just like Linux in general it doesn't have to be :)
