    Without the AUR Arch becomes a third world country distro because the official repos have only the basics.
    

    Arch has 17,000 packages and is one of the largest distros. If you want more, you can use Debian, (or maybe NixOS, but you won’t get the same quality).

    And what do you need so many packages for?
