I think this is more about the UI, rather than the install. I haven't tried it myself though.

I think nowadays using quickshell anyone who is so inclined can vibecode their own UI though. I recently made the switch to Wayland/hyprland and rebuilt my polybar on quickshell, even adding widgets that allow getting system info/fine grained system control (interactive Bluetooth, WiFi, Volume, Brightness etc).

Ah yes, the solution to software with massive security holes is for everyone to vibe code their own software with massive security holes.

But in all seriousness, I am running omarchy now, and I will almost definitely be switching to arch at some point in the future.

Even if you introduce bugs in your UI (which I think is not very likely if you have a basic understanding of your system), the chance that someone would exploit software that literally only runs on your own machine seems extremely unlikely to me.

I've been using arch for over 10 years btw.

Isn't the other half of AI that we can afford to look for exploits in one-off software?

The old human nature tendency of "Just ship it!" and the desire to move on to the next shiny thing on our wishlist doesn't go away with AI. If it anything, it makes it worse.

I am not sure how someone would run an LLM on my computer to look for exploits as the source code is only available on my machine?
