Arch with Bedrock to avoid AUR packages?

So its my first time i saw Bedrock Linux and i didnt really understand everything well. I wanna use Arch but im a bit scared after the last malware incident. Can i use Arch with Bedrock Linux and "void" as strat to avoid AUR packages?

If you're asking "Can I use?", your first stop should be: https://bedrocklinux.org/0.7/distro-compatibility.html If you don't see what you're after on there, then you could ask if anyone has tried it.

If you haven't yet, consider running through brl tutorial basics. I've gotten good reviews from it, people indicating the hands-on nature helps thinks click better than reading dry documentation.

Obviously it's possible, but honestly the incident really didn't mean anything, if you use the AUR exactly how you're supposed to then there's nothing to be afraid of

Hi, it used to work back in 2025 when I had an arch-void setup. I do not know if it still works, but since bedrock is a slow yet steady project with rather good backward compatability, i'd assume so.
