    I think the day there’s a widespread apt or pacman hidden malware ala npm will be a watershed moment for the Linux community. A lot of people don’t even have clamav installed

      You mean like all the recent exploits on the AUR? It’s already happening. Digital hygiene is a responsibility that many don’t take seriously.

        I’m worried even some random package like fastfetch getting compromised. I never installed that, it came with CachyOS, and it’s an “official package”. Does anyone actually check all 70+ packages that update per week? I dunno, it gives me the same uneasy feeling when I first was introduced to NPM
