I have a script I run daily (named daily) that makes a timeshift backup, checks for updates from pacman, then checks for updates from the AUR. I’m very fond of it :]
To be honest, it’s just what I’ve been using since I switched to Cachy half a year ago. There was no conscious decision made between yay or paru.
I think Go and Rust are both great languages, but there are apparently some speed benefits from using rust/paru. That’s not anything I can factually confirm, just what I’ve heard.

I’ve been using
yayfor years, and it is sufficient. First time I’ve heard of paru.Other than being written in rust, how does paru improve the experience of AUR wrapping?

Googling it, it just seems like yay but in rust and it shows PKGBUILD by default. Still cool to find alternative tools though
I have never heard of paru until this very moment. I will look into it, thanks!
Heck yeah! I hope it helps simplify things!
This might be the first time my limited Linux knowledge has been helpful to an internet stranger. Feels good.
