This is a very risky repo since you can't verify a compiled package. You should also inform us about security issues with external repo and how to make sure they are trusted
@krzychhoo
Kind of a weird choice of packages to showcase and frankly to be included in the repo. Both brave and paru have -bin releases on the aur and are well maintained.
@josephdegarmo
One of the things which help make Garuda Linux a great distro for Arch beginners. I first learned about the chaotic AUR on that distro.
@KiraLonefighter
as always easy to understand, helpful and very detailed
@SouthFacedWindows
The first thing I do when I install any Arch based distro. Thanks to the Garuda team.
@midwestweirdo666
Chaotic was one of the first unofficial repos I added and I love it. When I need to install anything I search with paru and it's rare that it's not at least in chaotic.
@alexconklin-rn4jd
hey dt i lovedd your videos on doom, you should def do some more!
@JohnLamontanaro
ty DT, never knew about chaotic
@alaxandar667
The Chaotic AUR was my solution for installing larger AUR packages on my low-end spec laptop running Arch, kept running out of RAM and I got tired of relying on a swap partition just for building to still take several hours.
@plektosgaming
Been running Arch, can confirm that it's fantastic with the combo of Chaotic AUR and Steam/Proton. 99% of my 400+ games run and it also does some video/audio/web/basic other stuff on the side. Zero reason to think about Windows again at this point. The reason, IME, to use Chaotic is because of the tools you need to keep up to date if you stream or do stuff online. But, yes, you have to choose wisely and do some research. Don't hit that update all and then wonder why it broke - and WHICH of the 50 things you installed at once did it. One at a time, just the stuff you must update. Though, to be fair, we did also have to do this all the time with Windows. KB hell was a real thing.
@fsfan7384
thats cool perhaps this can get baked into the next major release of Manjaro with another toggle switch!
@hipdad9461
Also. Arch tweak tool (at least in Arcolinux) allows you to add chaotic AUR by toggle switch.
@MrHenriquejarbas
Interesting! didn't know about that. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
@supremesonicbrazil
1:30 On a decent machine it takes around 30-40 minutes (I've had this experience recently on a Gentoo VM with half of my CPU cores and RAM allocated to it), you're probably thinking of Chromium.
@naderz4064
i used garuda as my first distro and chaotic aur is all i have ever used on arch lol, currently i went to fedora do to not breakages and just needing my comp to work "work is terrible atm and i lost most my tinker fun time"
@_dev_null_
Used it on Garuda š, but over time found I needed it less and less on Arch to the point where I no longer use it.
@PlanetLinuxChannel
If the Chaotic AUR mainly packages the more popular pieces of software, I guess Iām not understanding what the benefit is over the regular Arch repos, since they also include binaries for all the most popular software.
@robsku1
Forgot to ask in my comment, and decided it was better to put on separate comment: No experience with Arch. If you install from AUR, it compiles the program from source. Does it also after that know how remove/uninstall the package cleanly, and know when it's time to update it to a new version (I don't mean auto-updates, but when I'm telling it to update whatever packages there is a new version of available)? I'm guessing it would do that, but just asking...
@TuxikCE
Yes! This what I wanted. I have always been tired of even compiling as small as a font and taking it several minutes to compile, taking my resources and then generating a lot of bloat such as dependencies and source files. I absolutely hated doing that, but if this is as same as installing a package from pacman, I would be really interested in trying to. Thanks for showing this to us. But I wonder how often are the packages updated?
