Maybe I just don’t use enough random software, but I never understood the issue with PPA. The only ones I used were maintained by the software developer. If I trust the software, then I trust the PPA. The PKBLD on the other hand usually requires trust of some third party to wrap what the developer provided.
The PPA seems safer in that scenario.
How do you keep Discord up to date? Their PPA would do it. There were a few days a while back when the PKBLD was out of date and users were SOL for automatic updates. The community (maybe Manjaro) response was to use the Discord website or manually download and install. How is that better than PPA? Now I just always manually install when Discord has an update and don’t use the repository. My next install won’t be Arch based.
