I've made a point of always installing software via the package manager. That means making my own PKGBUILDs if there's not already good ones available. I don't want to ever sidestep the package manager and go `sudo make install` or something. That feels like taking a shit in your system directories and you'll never be able to clean it all up after a short while.

Sadly they forced anybody with an older nvidia gpu to use some AUR package some months back.
