As if those are things that normal people do

@@kimgkomg no it isn't. But that speaks to the problem of tech literacy. It isn't that people can't, it's often that people are too lazy or busy to try and hapily encouraged to remain in such a status quo.

Except when users go to upgrade packages and something breaks. It can be absolute pain to track it down sometimes

@@arandomguy4478 arch focuses on bleeding edge instead of stability. If a distro based on arch tries to hold packages for sometime for more stability, the AUR packages have more chances to break. The bleeding edge nature of arch makes the AUR possible.

The average user wants stability heck as a power user I also want stability

Prove it

I’m blocking you

Btw I didnt use the pacstrap command during installation

i use artix btw

@@jan_harald KDE does have a recycle bin, and as far as I know, that is the deskop environment shipping with it out of its game mode.

@@jan_harald i wish more people who wrote guides, say to install trash-cli and suggest `trash filename` instead of rm -rf

Probably as people as those who mod their xbox or playstation lol

lets be real here, im pretty sure no one wants to upgrade and sync all their packages just to get one package installed

I have both yay and paru

the y/n prompts actually capitalize the letter that is going to be the default use if no input is provided. The only problem with that is in its existence by default. If every prompt used the same default, be it Y or N, it would be useful, but since that is not the case, looking for the capital letter takes the same amount of time as typing the letter you want to use anyway, which makes the feature obsolete imo.

YAy is deprecated use paru

@@limpa756 It is not deprecated. Use whatever you want

imho it's not worth making an AUR package if you're not gonna maintain it...which there's ALREADY quite a few that aren't quite kept up to date, not to mention that I think this would increase the duplicate packages, like, if there's package-git package-mypatch package-flumpus package-opensesame-git, for example, you wouldn't even know what is the actual difference between them, they'd be someone's forks, but often they seem quite unneccessary

@@jan_harald And that is why some research should be done on the upstream of non-popular aur packages before installing.

And that's why I'm trying not to install stuff that I don't see frequently updated in the past couple of months.

@@jan_harald Unmaintained packages can easily be reported and you can also request to maintain them. I also rarely encounter actual duplicates because I think those would get reported quite fast. There are in fact differences between -git or -bin packages. So it makes sense to have those in separate to choose from. Sometimes even forks or patches are a reason to create a different package because there are important changes which can be required in other software using it as dependency.

just the build files in /tmp x)

If you have problems installing on Debian, that's on you lol.

@@alexdelarge9425 When did i say i do? It's simply a night and day difference between being able to use a package manager and all its features vs having to unpack a tarball or .deb that doesn't update with the rest of the system, neither is hard, but one is way more convenient

@@alexdelarge9425 reminds me of Linus Torvalds at a Debian conference saying it was too difficult to install

I can definitely see how it would be time consuming if installing by only reading the wiki and choosing from programs you know nothing about, but now there are tons of tutorials that walk you through it and even some install helpers exist.

@@eritert heck there's Arch GUI, a distro that is just Arch with rhings preinstalled

Thanks, I didn’t know the distinction. Is this just a convention? Or are there admins on the AUR who get to name the packages?

It doesn't even take that long tho?

Which version of Garuda are you running? Dragonized? I like it okay, but it’s bloated by arch standards. Every Pacman -Syu is always a lot of packages. I removed a lot of software so it’s not too bad now. But it still takes a long time to boot compared to my arch install. But you get a lot of eye candy for your waiting.

@@tylerdean980 just use the barebones edition

@@tylerdean980 Yeah, the Dragonized edition. I agree with you that it has more stuff than a minimal Arch install, but I want a lot of that stuff -- both the functional and the eye candy. And what I don't want, I can remove, as you said. What I don't know yet, though, is whether I want to use the Chaotic AUR that it uses by default or if I want to use the regular AUR instead.

@@code8986 You still have access to the regular AUR too, it's not like you're losing anything.

@@babitasaha6655 I would, but I really like the gaming stuff that it comes with out of the box, like having the GE version of proton, and retroarch set up out of the box. Honestly they set up so much for you that it would be more time consuming to do all that yourself than it would be just to uninstall the things that you don't need. But there are some things that I still can't remove. Like for example, they ship with 2 terminal emulators, I don't really need alacritty, but the system uses it to run the commands that the graphical programs do.

trizen is the patrician aur helper

perl is bloat in its essence

@@acrodrigues1 no, you're confusing it with c++ and php ;P

You can, but then you are installing what another person deems fit for a running system, not what you do. Defeats the whole purpose, and Arch's "KISS" philosophy. When I first starting using Arch, I used to feel the urge to use install scripts, etc. I have in fact used them in the past but ended up with a lot of bloat and who knows what else installed on my machine that I probably didn't need. Installer scripts are typically created as a universal "catch-all" for all PC's. But do yourself a favor, use that time to learn to install and build up your own system. It really is not hard at all, it just seems daunting at first (just like anything new, right?). Once you learn, you can literally have a running Arch Linux system in less than 15 minutes, just use the Arch install guide and take your time the first few tries. Once you get that right, then move on to installing your choice of desktop environment (XFCE, Cinnamon, OpenBox, etc). Even easier, just learn the process in a Virtual Machine and then when you're solid and ready to go, install on your real PC. The great part here, is by taking the time yourself, not only do you learn a lot about Linux in the process -- but you can easily make your own install script in the end and it's truly a great feeling to completely enjoy your lightning fast system that you built up. You will thank yourself in the end. ;)

Please ignore the guy above. The Arch install script literally just automates the base Arch install and nothing else, which is exactly the same on every PC. The script is included by default in the Arch iso now, just run archinstall to use it

literally same

yes it is based on Arch
