Example? I've never once "broken" something by installing a program from source.
- cosarara97 12y agoI haven't either, but I've had trouble trying to uninstall them later.
- hobarrera 12y agoIf you install form source, you lose all the advantages of a package manager (updating, clean uninstallation, dependency management, etc). pacman (and makepkg) make creating your own package stupidly simple. (not to mention that the official repos + AUR have an immense amount of packages present already).
