This makes arch docs less intuitive because of removed AUR helper example
Also removing yay command from the list of personal DreamMaoMao dependencies for his/her dotfiles makes it worse since other distributions have their own package names

AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. so we should not include a way to install via a aur helper

you Shouldn't use a aur helper as a crutch, meaning you shouldn't use a aur helper for everything, you should instead pacman -S the packages in the native repos, then makepkg the ones in the aur, or use a aur helper

Then shouldn't there at least be instructions on how to build both mangowc and scenefx0.4 with makepkg in the readme?

Also I agree that not mentioning which distro the dot file dependencies are for is confusing especially with some of them being fairly niche.

Breaking markdown is not good because headers need to have significance in the docs, especially using first header

Also, SQUASH YOUR COMMITS, the docs PR needs to be a single commit and it's not that hard or demanding to soft reset your commits and then force-push to the repo

You broke the markdown header hierarchy by moving #aur packages outside of code block
aur needs to be capitalized since it's an abbreviation
