1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Ideally, you should use Pamac (if you're doing CLI), not Pacman, to update Manjaro. Haven't used Manjaro in a while, but this is gospel most of the time.

    EDIT: clarity

    Is it because of the offset between the main packages and the AUR? Man, that's such a bad decision.

    Edit: they seem to be using yay as the package manager.

    From the Gentoo user and Debian/RedHat server admin perspective the whole AUR mess with its 20 package managers just for that and its different way to install stuff compared to the main distro packages has always made me stop Arch-based distros whenever I gave them a try. Why can't they do what Gentoo and Debian and RedHat distros do and have one unified packaging system for all packages?

    [–] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    You can use pacman and makepkg for everything if you want. Alternative tools are for convenience.

    [–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

    On the other binary distros I don't have to compile third party packages myself though. And on Gentoo I use ebuilds for everything and they are super-easy to write, especially if you have a similar package as a starting point.
