    “oh this is a flatpak or hell even a windows exe…” proceeds to search for it on AUR “ah there it is, wonderful!”

      The AUR is basically just a script that describes best case scenario for building something under Arch. They don’t have any specific quality rules they have to meet.

      It’s super easy to make and publish an AUR script compared to a regular distro package (including Arch packages).
