I've failed in my duties as a penguin and am not nerdy enough to get the joke. could a more pious user explain?

    It's a reference to a meme from yesterday:

    I guess it's saying that Arch people use the AUR and PKGBUILD files. Idk exactly. It might even be a reference to the (somewhat) recent malware incident with the *-patch-bin browser packages. I must admit that I don't really find it funny. But maybe I too am missing the point here. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Anyway, in case you don't know, and wish to use Arch at some point, the content on AUR is user submitted, and hence security cannot be guaranteed. People do report malicious packages, and it's safe in general. But always read the PKGBUILD before installing anything, just in case something silly is going on.
