    there is one more thing - unless you are using something like chaotic aur, or a very popular package, please pay attention to PKGBUILDS. These are essentially bash scripts which can (depending on your package manager) will run with highest permissions. They can do anything

      They also may not compile stuff from source, they can download and install binaries and some AUR packages do exactly that.

      There’s zero guarantee when using AUR. It’s not supported by Arch for a reason.
