AUR doesn't guarantee security, its upto the user to use AUR & verify before installing anything, its very evident why arch is not used in enterprise solutions.

- hootz 4mo agoArch is not used in enterprise solutions because of the AUR? Can't you just not use it?
- virajk_31 4mo agoAUR is choice, rolling release is the reason
- this_user 4mo agoNo, it's not. If Debian had a community-maintained repo of additional packages, the same thing could happen there. The fundamental problem is having something that has very loose oversight and next to no controls. That may have worked in the past, but in the day and age of constant supply chain attacks, it's a major liability.
- NekkoDroid 4mo agoGP was talking about why Arch isn't used in enterprise, not what happened in the post.
- virajk_31 4mo agoCommunity-maintained repo is again a choice/option, how does that changes from LTS to Rolling release ?
- SahAssar 4mo agoRolling release has nothing to do with this. It could just as well be a PPA in ubuntu or any deb repo for debian or similar.
- hootz 4mo agoMakes sense.
- fooqux 4mo agoIt's not the AUR. It's the rolling release cycle, and probably even more importantly, lack of support options.
