Just get it from the AUR, make sure to add -patch-bin to the package name for best results.

    "Aur"? Says here in my notes something about "Pacman" but that can't be right...

    Pacman is Arch's package manager. The AUR is the "Arch User Repository", which is just an alternative repository where users can upload whatever they want. (And the comment you responded to is sarcastic, because it happens that there's malware on the AUR.)

    I mean. I like compiling stuff myself but when I have to update 100 tools and all are source code to be compiled, then I can't use my pc for a whole day or so.

    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.
