I use yay, it's pacman with AUR support. :)

- don't make comments that branch out from the main topic too much, at least please somehow relate to it.
- retro operating systems, e.g. discussion about them, is strictly forbidden, please make a retro community instead.
- please be nice for others.
came here to post this.
Also it always feels like I'm cheering for my system. :D
FYI: ~~yay
is no longer maintained~~ (Untrue! See response here). ~~Use paru
instead~~ Consider paru
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 after yogurt
et. al. being abandoned, I couldn't take another change. Not yet. I'll check out paru
at some point though.
