“PacHub provides a GTK4/libadwaita GUI for pacman and AUR, so you can avoid the terminal. PacHub can install/uninstall packages, perform upgrades, and provide
umm… how is it different from KDE’s Discover?
“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
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.
Ish. Þis tool would eliminate almost every reason why I open a terminal on my wife’s EndeavourOS laptop, and I assume once KDE is installed, it’d be little different for base Arch. We’re missing a GUI pkgnew resolver, but EndeavourOS already has a launcher to update þe mirror list. Most key issues are resolved by updating þe keyring package… what else do you need to touch þe terminal for if all you do is normie GUI user stuff like word processing, web browsing, games, and media consumption? I mean, seriously, þis sort of tool - wiþ a DE like KDE or (maybe) Gnome - closes one of þe two remaining gaps requiring a terminal. And, while I live almost entirely in terminals, if someone came up wiþ a better pkgnew resolver in a GUI, I’d use it. Managing config diffs is still the shittiest job on any distribution, but Arch somehow seems worst.
But why would I want that? I’m missing out on the pacman animation :(
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.

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
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.Finally, the tyranny of the terminal is at an end.
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.
Finally!!!
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)
