Man updating packages by compiling them is so stupid
Oh look 15 updated packages from AUR
I mean yes if time is an issue, but compiled code on your own hardware is specifically tuned to your machine, some people want that tiny tweak of performance and stability.
The point being most AUR packages are compiled on each update
But compiled on some other machine. Compiling on your own hardware optimizes it for that specific hardware and what that chip supports etc.
No, AUR packages are compiled on your machine.
Not all of them, that’s why many packages have a
[package]-bin
versionAh, thought you meant in the AUR. I'm used to OBS where you have binaries and source available (OBS meaning OpenBuildService, not the screen recorder)
