The default boot entry opens the complete UrsaOS Niri+DMS desktop as the ephemeral user ursa. Open Install UrsaOS from the application launcher only when you want to install it.

Why is the AUR (Arch User Repository) not active or pre-installed by default?
UrsaOS prioritizes system stability, security, and reproducible package states out-of-the-box. The AUR consists of user-submitted PKGBUILDs that should be inspected before build execution. To avoid unverified third-party packages in the base installation, UrsaOS strictly relies on pacman with official Arch Linux repositories and the signed ursaos package repository. Users can manually install AUR helpers such as paru or yay at any time.
