WHERE IS PACMAN, our HOLY SAVIOR?

Jokes aside, paru.

[-] GigglyBobble@kbin.social 31 points 10 months ago

Why are there so many paru fans? Last release is a year old, constantly out of date in AUR and failing builds in Github don't scream code quality. I prefer yay.

[-] PizzaDeposit@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago

Because it's written in rust ofcourse.

[-] yum13241@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

Because paru has a working sudoloop and config, unlike yay.

yay sometimes asks for sudo even when sudoloop is on, and paru's config is in an easy to find location.

Oh, and you can change the program paru uses for root access.

It also sounds much happier, yay!

Kid you not, that was my first reason to adopt it (next to having a short name).

[-] Cwilliams@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

I honestly go back and forth. Depends on which one I decide to try next time I reinstall. I actually used aura for a while, but switched back to yay for the --sudo flag. (I use opendoas)

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.
