I'm fairly certain that the graph you're thinking of is complete bullshit. It only had approximately a third of the package count listed for a particular Ubuntu version than said version had in actuality.
2. There's literally an exception right there in the singular sentence you linked to.
The entire problem is that people weren't inspecting PKGBUILDs. At least with user repositories, you have someone who can build a reputation for trustworthy packages. There's a reason why every other distro does user repos.
That's what they should do. The AUR has been a giant fuckup since the beginning, which is especially outrageous seeing as they had the perfect template for it with Gentoo's GURU.
Don't you know that big bad Ukraine forced innocent little Russia into this war?! (Do I need to add the sarcasm mark?)
> but you seem to think that getting their own soldiers killed was their goal..?
Actually, to some extent, that is the case. Russia has been conscripting violent criminals (generally murderers and rapists), who, unlike normal prisoners getting conscripted, don't have a way to "earn" their freedom and are instead sent into the proverbial meat grinder.
