"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?
There's Octopi, which looks like this. To see AUR packages, you just have to click on the alien-looking icon.
I remember Octopi, was told way back when not to use it anymore on Manjaro, depreciated or smth. Is it still fine to use?
It is still fine to use, the last commit was made a month ago and it is one of the most popular aur packages just under yay.
Nice ty!
