umm.. how is it different from KDE's Discover?

"Finally" what a revolutionary program that is not the same as bauh, octopi and pamac. I like options free software all at but fuck sensationalist headlines

If you are planning on running Arch "without touching the terminal", you're going to have a bad time

[-] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

Not if you're running an Arch-based distro, like CachyOS. Between CachyOS's Hello app and Octopi, it just works.

Granted, I do use the terminal, but that's because I'm a tinkerer and I want to do unusual things, not just web + games + office suite. For most users, they never need to see the terminal, aside from hitting "q" and "y" when they install or update things a few times.

But why would I want that? I'm missing out on the pacman animation :(

True, just like when I first using Linux and disappointed that they removed the tux logo represent how many CPU cores you have during boot sequence.

If I'm not mistaken, it's not "removed"; it is still an option in the kernel configuration, it's just not enabled in the install script of most distros

Asking the real questions. Though I bet someone will add an animation

[-] mech@feddit.org 18 points 16 hours ago

Does it print any new Arch news items before an update?
Does it warn you about changed config files?
If there are multiple possible providers for a dependency, does it somehow intelligently choose the right one based on your system?
If it doesn't, then it'll eventually break your system.

Finally, the tyranny of the terminal is at an end.
