Arch Linux’s AUR is still operational, while new account registration appears blocked during ongoing cleanup work.

    Who here has NEVER used the AUR with their Arch install raise your hand. I’ll wait.

      Me!!

      I stopped using it a while ago, and I get all my non arch packaged packages from nixpkgs. Nixpkgs is bigger than the AUR and the Arch repos combined. It has pretty much all of the stuff I would have otherwise gotten from the AUR. But I find Nixos frustrating to use, so I stick to Arch.

      I felt extremely vindicated in my decision to avoid the AUR when the AUR malware happened.
