    Basically this. Not saying the “AUR breaking your system” thing isn’t, well, a thing but I get “error aborting installation” warnings waaaaay more often than my system just outright dying because of an AUR package (which is to say, it’s never actually happened to me).

    And usually, when I see that warning, I go “kay, not even gonna bother” because if I ignore it and try to brute force the install…yeah, that potential breakage is on me, not the AUR

      Ditto. I’ve literally never had an aur package break my system either, but like you if it doesnt want to play first go, I’ll almost always find an alternative.
