The AUR is so transparent. If I want to see how the AUR package is getting built, ez, read the PKGBUILD linked right from the packages page. I was immediately turned off to using Snap because I couldn't find how the Snap was built and really who built it. No Thanks, that's not how I install software on my personal computer anymore, it's one of the main reasons I exited windows as soon as I started to learn about infosec and trust.

Not only that but modifying the pkgbuild for yourself is trivial. Very convenient for installing patched kernels.
Yep I upvoted the whole tree. Agree(d). ++
