According to Microsoft, users who have installed the KB5095051 update might encounter a strange Recycle Bin bug that replaces the names of deleted files with internal Recycle...
Ironically people who “btw I use Arch” have been FREAKING OUT because their precious arch user repository got massively infected with infostealer malware, lol
I think you vastly overestimate the importance of AUR. A lot of Arch users had to say something about the incident and many of them didn‘t even use it. It‘s definitely nothing essential.
Also Arch users still don‘t give a fuck about Windows. This whole AUR debacle has little to do with what OP was actually getting at.
FYI, CachyOS is Arch based. It has access to the AUR. If you weren’t effected, that proves the point.
The AUR is a repository of last resort. It’s useful, but you should be careful. That’s true even before this even. It’s a repository made by users, and is not verified.
I use arch (kinda), and has zero issues. It was a problem if you used unmaintained packages from arch, as adopting them and contaminating then was the attack vector. Using someone that’s unmaintained is always kinda questionable, so instead I’d just manually install that instead (it shouldn’t change if it isn’t maintained anyway).
lmao, but yea- lesson learned anyway 🥀
never will install random packages without properly checking it, Got too carried away by "yay -Essing everything :sob:
I actually do use arch btw, however there really isnt anything to freak out over because I barely even use the aur and am just not updating from the aur for the time being. Its really not a big deal.
Lol, I’d rather have AUR malware than Snap packages. You do you, friend.
All the arch based distros are fine, only the AUR is affected, so unless someone goes out of their way to use the AUR they’re golden.
For the casual user, they Just Work™. The famous ones like Stean, at least (I tried it sometime ago, it’s better than the flatpak version nowadays). If you never change your cursor, never check out your partitions, etc. snap’s problems aren’t as visible

This was just this week
I use Bazzite btw
Sweet
What a gamers nexus normie!
Nexus is a good channel, but normies don’t even know what linux is. Steve may be tech Jesus but he’s no linux bro.

Maybe so. I use cachy just for the record, so I’m not piling on with linux hate. I’m just enjoying the madness of it all. :)

CachyOS not only is Arch, it uses packages from AUR out of the box
Nobody is freaking out who isn’t a moron.
There are a handful of arch users who eat crayons… if the windows users in 2026 leave any I mean.

This is why I love flatpak and sandboxing in general
Flatpak ruules!
I use Arch, btw. But no, I wouldn’t blame my incompetence on my distro even if I were infected, which I wasn’t.
DAE BOF SIDES

Not my linux 😎

Which is honestly just as hilarious, because I use Ubuntu just trigger Arch nerds.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people.

I partially chose Linux Mint to skip the whole snap nonsense. I seriously don’t get how it’s been so accepted in various distros.

Kubuntu minimal install doesn’t have snaps.
Until you install Firefox, that is.
You can still override it to install the apt package, same with thunderbird.
Doing something to spite strangers is the most pathetic thing you could possibly do.
Neat.
