"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?
I think the best way is to go to aur.archlinux.org and search for whatever program you want there. You can get popularity scores, info on when then manifest was last updated and user comments l. Then you can copy paste the name to yay.
Oh, you can just go on a website and search up stuff... Now it's really idiocy
and then you can just
yay -Syu... huh...Y'know pamac kind of runs like dogshit on old computers anyway tbh.
I just use pamac and Bauh on Endeavour anyhow, I can't be bothered with CLI anymore. I'm sure other people get little goosbumps and feel like they're diving into the matrix when they're on the terminal, but I just find it really annoying and would rather have a GUI.
ngl that is half the reason I use the cli
Okay, so by chance do you know much about these silly
exit status 8/4 errors I'm getting installing pamac? Never heard of Bauh before.Bauh is the same type of program as Pamac, but I like how it easily supports flatpak
