   At this precise moment HyDE is undergoing an interesting migration, regardless the installation continues to hit the same beats as the Wikis guide (Available in multiple languages)
   If you run into any issues you can follow-up, just be sure to include something related next time like the following print-out:

   printf 'mode: %s\nconfig: %s\nprofile: %s\n' \
     "$HYDE_MODE" "$HYPRLAND_CONFIG" "$DCONF_PROFILE" "$HYDE_ACTIVATED" "$HYDE_FEATURE_LUA" "$QT_QPA_PLATFORM" &&
   test -f "$HYPRLAND_CONFIG" || read -r -p ans "Interupted, continue?(y/n)"
   test -z "$DCONF_PROFILE" || test -f "$DCONF_PROFILE"
   hyprctl reload

   So that we may better help out.

   some if not most exploits can be mitigated when you use chaotic aur. As it ships direct binary so no arbitrary commands being run. *some as the binary can be exploited elsewhere (fyr XZ or builds that modifies the code of the software you install).

   Most of the exploits are at build part, using binary from chaotic aur prevents any malicious PKGBUILD to run arbitrary build commands that is malicious.

   Also so far all AUR packages that is used by the core package are participated by me, either opening issues or just watching their upstream repo.

   We don't really want to use AUR as much as possible.
