    I tried Arch once and they use Pacman for everything.

    It’s like Pacman -sY to install. Makes no sense.

    At least the AUR is cool.

    One day, Linux will have a nice, unified, polished application portal (not store because god forbid we see a LINUX APP STORE).

    For everything else there’s git.

    Git clone Make Pacman -sY lethal company Sudo chmod +x ./home/user/games/lethal_company.x86_64

    “Hold on guys I swear it works, Linux is just better, hold on”

    AUR Proton_EasyAntiCheatHooks Man -k Nvidia-Propietary ./etc/Xserver.conf --display one --mode C1B3 --vsync off Sudo reboot -now

      The crazy thing is, you would probably want to name it something direct and memorable like LINUX APP STORE to market it to the masses. Have a tag line like “it’s all free!” or whatever.

      In the Super Bowl (no affiliation to c/superbowl) commercial, we’ll hear some grandma questioning whether the things on her new laptop were free from restrictions or free from cost, and her jock grandson will look right into the camera and say “yes!”

      It’s like Pacman -sY to install. Makes no sense.

      If you read the man page for pacman, it helps. S stands for synchronise, Q for query (local), F is for find (remote), R is for remove. The following sub options (yu after -S) are specific to each main option.

      Best thing I found for Arch-based is yay.

      yay -Syu yay (application name) It just searches repos and AUR in one go. Manages everything like Pacman. I quite like it.

      Yay!
