AUR my beloved

I love the AUR as much as the next guy, but audited, it ain't.

Mixed bag

Agreed. There has been cases of malware sneaking its way into the AUR.
Now it could be avoided by checking PKGBUILDs and I can trust that the reader is checking those (are you, reader? 🤨). But do you have that trust for every user?
I prefer Void Linux's way of handling packages, where it all goes through one ultimately trusted git repo that gets packaged up if the license allows it, otherwise using
xbps-src. If it was a bit less DIY compared to Arch I'd be hopping onto it tbh.

the AUR and wiki are the only reasons i use arch

See Fedora has COPR which is like AUR if it were a version specific dead mall which 50% of the time makes you compile from source anyway lol

I'm lost, does Ubuntu give you a pop up with this or something?

Some guy lost a good chunk of his crypto bullshit because there was a scam wallet on the Snap Store. I believe Popey did an audit of it and called it to the attention of the admins who removed it. It came back.

Also where the fuck is Bisq? The only one that should be on the list.

Too bad they don't have an (official) flatpak.

How does the snap store have worse moderation than flathub when the snap store has the weight of a company behind it and flathub is run by [nervously notices it doesn't say]?
canonical has a history of massacring their distro in the worst way imaginable. They're specially gifted in this way.
