Currently you can use https://github.com/lenucksi/aur-malware-check to do a check if you’re infected. My main server was safe, still haven’t tested on my wayland machine though, I went yolo with that one. No important keys at least are there.
I don’t use arch, btw.
This must be fake news because several hundred people told me there is no malware on Linux.
They should have some sort of static code scanners on the repos at rest at this point that look for certain patterns and issue warnings.

does a linux mint-using idiot need to worry about this, hypothetically speaking?
This pertains to Arch’s AUR (Arch User Repository). On Mint, nothing you do will interact with the AUR, so you’re perfectly fine.
thank you!
Generally not. The AUR stands for Archlinux User Repository. It’s their repo. Unless added as a source manually, you will never see a package from it.
thank you!
