Oh, yeah, for sure. AUR stuff is a somewhat more hands-on, at least if you actually read/edit PKGBUILD files the way you're meant to, and it's not too hard to shoot yourself in the foot if you've never had the guard rails off before, but yeah, pacman makes stuff easy.

"Advanced users only" these days seems to generally just mean, "CLI is a hard requirement" and maybe "you have to edit config files and not use a GUI" or (heaven forbid) "you may need to actually read and follow instructions"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
