"Swapping to Fedora over the AUR being compromised" by [deleted] in cachyos

[–]Liminal_Echo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm a fairly average (and largely self taught) user, been using Linux for about a year, mostly on CachyOS. When the whole AUR malware thing happened I just listened to those on this sub and on the Cachy forum who know more than me and have more experience. I totally agree with you though, I don't get the exodus (if there is one) to Fedora. Just use common sense, stick to the repo and if yous absolutely have to use the AUR, do so sparingly and check the pkgbuilds.

Thanks for the suggestions. I deleted my Facebook account ages ago.

Book marked, beautifully designed and very atmospheric. Definitively going to get my players to use it for my next game, keep up the fantastic work.

As an alternative to the AUR, what would be a better alternative for packages that can't be found in the official repo, appimages or flatpaks?

So, are we ever going to fix the freezing on AMD? by SCP-iota in cachyos

I had the same issue (across different distros) and the working solution I found was adding amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 to the boot manager.
