My favorite is pacman because it is fast af but it has really weird syntax’s
I use yay, it’s pacman with AUR support. :)
came here to post this.
Also it always feels like I’m cheering for my system. :D
FYI:
(Untrue! See response here).yay
is no longer maintainedUseConsiderparu
insteadparu
as an alternative option; it’s written in Rust and has better version tracking for*-git
packages (won’t miss upgrades if the AUR version isn’t tracked, won’t do pointless upgrades if the AUR version changes but HEAD remains unchanged)The latest release of
yay
was 3 weeks ago. Where are you seeing that it’s not maintained anymore?Huh! I appear to have fallen victim to misinformation. I stand corrected and I apologize for not properly confirm such a strong claim before repeating it like that.
I suppose a more accurate way to put it is that
yay
has been slower to adopt new features (e.g.: yay#336 vs paru#260), but otherwise remains a current and well-maintained piece of software.I was about to throw my computer out the window when you said that because I literally just implemented a bunch of ansible playbooks using
yay
to configure my machines and afteryogurt
et. al. being abandoned, I couldn’t take another change. Not yet. I’ll check outparu
at some point though.
