      aur is limited to arch based distros only

      And rpms are for redhat tree, so ?

      OP said

      None of the above. Native debs/rpms/whatever for desktops, docker images for servers.

      Your example package is readily available in my distro in native was my point. If your distro doesn’t have it then maybe you need to change distros.

        Arch users being like “I have it in my AUR. What more could other people ask for ?”

        You should realise it’s a possibility not to want to change a system just to use (possibly broken) AUR

          Which, again, misses the point. Original OP said “install native” replying OP said “but what about (package)” (obviously intending that to be a gotcha) and I replied with “well it’s in mine”

          I have no idea what debs& rpms are available, nor do i care.

          And what is this “possibly broken aur” rubbish ? It’s a repository, and it most certainly isn’t broken.

          Individual packages may be broken but they can be broken in any repository. Are you saying there’s never been a broken package in a debian repository ? Lol.

          Edit to correct “you” to “OP” as you aren’t the original person doing the “whataboutism”

        Do you check packages you install from the aur? I ask, because it seems like people don’t. I did, and it was a pain in the ass, and that’s why I stopped using arch and arch based distros.
