      For me, things like a Tidal music player, and proton-ge. Both can be found in flatpaks

      You say that but there are people who swear by the AUR for everything because it has everything or they prefer Pacman for everything lol

      I’ve had about 15% success rate with my attempts at AUR. I don’t have the patience to figure out why things don’t work, I guess. Either ended up with a flatpak, or decided it wasn’t that important to me.

        I loved Chaotic-AUR when I was using Arch. No waiting to build AUR packages, you know if it works right away.

        You have to decide if you trust the source. Personally I’m not worried.

        Also if you know how to fix an AUR package you can open a ticket on their github and they will update it immediately most of the time.
