After the AUR debacle, I'm considering it.

Just don't download anything stupid from AUR. Verify your getting the correct, supported packages, and you should be fine.

Compile your malware from source, like a real engineer!

I think I escaped it because I use Garuda. They have their own copy called Chaotic-Aur where they prebuild and scan stuff. Between that layer, and me being slow to update, according to the scan, I avoided it. The packages that were infected that I had installed were older copies from before the infection.
