I’m looking for the opinions and experience of unbiased Linux enthusiasts whose daily driver uses an arch based distro.

When I was using and learning EndeavourOS I frequently (enough) came across posts and videos that stated that although the AUR is useful, but it’s use should be limited to keep your system stable. If someone was having issues or a discussion about stability came up, there was always a seemingly condescending tone of “well my system has always worked fine, just don’t install too many AURs and it won’t break”.

However, whenever I see posts that relate to package managers, I always see praises for the AUR that seem to imply that there aren’t really any issues.

    That is something that I have been taking notes on. Thank you for your input.
