Why don't more distributions have something like the AUR when it's the main reason why so many people use Arch Linux?

    AUR is definitely not the reason people choose arch haha

    Fellow Linux folks, this direction is one of the main problems and you know it very darn well.

      Nah, it is my MAIN reason using Arch-based distro. If not because AUR, I should still using rock-solid Linux Mint… lol… 😅

        Same here. If Pacstall was as extensive as AUR I would still use Linux Mint.

        Your sample rate is 55 people on lemmy. DistroWatch has more than tripple the amount of arch users hitting the page per day. There are about 5500 registered accounts on the official arch forum.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
