WHERE IS PACMAN, our HOLY SAVIOR?
Jokes aside,
paru
.Why are there so many paru fans? Last release is a year old, constantly out of date in AUR and failing builds in Github don’t scream code quality. I prefer yay.
Because it’s written in rust ofcourse.
It also sounds much happier, yay!
Kid you not, that was my first reason to adopt it (next to having a short name).
Because paru has a working sudoloop and config, unlike yay.
Could you elaborate?
yay
sometimes asks for sudo even when sudoloop is on, and paru’s config is in an easy to find location.Oh, and you can change the program paru uses for root access.
I honestly go back and forth. Depends on which one I decide to try next time I reinstall. I actually used aura for a while, but switched back to yay for the --sudo flag. (I use opendoas)
topgrade? https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade
Kinda meant it as a joke, but that’s actually super cool
Where pacman?
sudo pacman -Sy $1
There you go.
Thanks.
Microsoft: “winget!”
Nobody asked you, Microsoft. Go back to making compact nuclear reactors, because honestly that’s based AF.
wasn’t a thing yet when the comic was made; technology advances so quickly…
Yeah, but it’s also a Windows exclusive - so it’s just usable on the Windows platform, but it’s a package managed for windows!
winget install gimp.GIMP
installs gimp, no browser necessary =)Check the link though. Microsoft might pull a sneaky in the future. “All Winget packages will be bundled with telemetry for security” or something like that.

“The script accepts the name of a program or package as an argument when you run it. This value is then referenced as “$1” (argument number 1). Everywhere the script says “$1”, it substitutes in the name of the package you gave it. The end result is the name being tried against a large number of software repositories and package managers, and hopefully, at least one of them will be appropriate and the program will be successfully installed.”

Yep, thanks!
flatpak install "$1" snap install "$1" appimage-cli-tool install "$1"
cd “$1” && docker-compose up -d
flatpak good snap bad, amirite?
The final fallback should be robodialing some tech support service and provide TeamViewer credentials
wait… no alpine apk?! :)
Is YaST* still a thing? Surprised Randall hasn’t touched/included *SuSE. Then again, maybe the joke was already long enough.
Missing pkcon
Unless you have a pretty exotic architecture, i.e neither x86 nor ARM, then arguably Docker “should” be “enough”.
winget install choco install scoop install
xbps-install ?
Yeah, that’s about right these days.
