"Just use cli bro" yeah okay, yay might be less trouble, but I like being able to keyword-search the AUR and flatpak and stuff.

I moved from Manjaro linux(icky, run by libertarians I think, smelly) to EndeavourOS(based, presumably run by commies and anarchsists, sexy) for a bunch of reasons, like Endeavour runs really well even from an old hard drive, it's a great OS. I kind of miss Pamac though.

From Mint to Manjaro I've always preferred the graphical program-installation way, which is probably windows brainworms that just won't leave. Having to yay s and remember xfce4-sensors-plugin without typos is a lot more annoying than just punching "sensors" into a search bar, so Endeavour's lack of a GUI installer is kind of troublesome to me. I tried just installing Pamac but it's made by Manjaro devs and errors out with exit status 8 or 4 more than half the time. Instead of digging in my heels and yelling about wanting Pamac to work, what else can I use on Endeavour to achieve the same ends?

    He thinks I'm gonna build a package on an Atom N570 data-laughing

    Never seen pacman -U before, neato. I also did not know you could git pull to update a package! So you wouldn't even recommend using yay most days?

      all aur helpers do is automate that process, so you are already building packages on an Atom

        Only some, not all of em need built, or at least most are a lot faster. Is there really no difference? I have a couple smelly PCs that do not cope well with the build process.
