Who the hell uses Arch while being afraid of the terminal?
"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
Thanks for finding the words for this fuckery. I’m totally with you on this one. Also, waiting at which point this flashy thing is going to be an abandonware.
umm.. how is it different from KDE's Discover?
It's libadwaita?
If you are planning on running Arch "without touching the terminal", you're going to have a bad time
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 :(
now do Nix! now do Nix!
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.
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
I know but I had to compile the kernel myself which I don't have the skill and patience to do
Asking the real questions. Though I bet someone will add an animation
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.
I mean pamac has existed for a while...
But i heard pamac ddosed the AUR before.
But thats from like 2022~
And it doesn't support yay/paru.
And i dont like its UX.
Lesss gooooo!!!!
Sadly not on AUR :<
Just clone the repo, chmod +x the install.sh and run that. ez
Try octotpi
am currently using pacseek(though TUI Instead of GUI)
Holy based I love Tui
Finally, the tyranny of the terminal is at an end.
Finally!!!
