I figured now would be the best time to make a thread for this version of Linux since over 400 Arch Linux packages were compromised. I wonder how Someordinarygamers is doing since he uses Arch Linux... Sucks this is happening since Linux is typically more secure and harder to compromise.
Aren't those AUR packages the ones that got infected? Well, that's why I always saw people saying don't using AUR packages...

Yeah you're right, the AUR packages were compromised and I can see why they were now lol. Since it's a community driven repository anyone could upload infected packages. I wasn't really interested in giving Arch Linux a go either way since I'm still not 100% familiar with terminal commands.
