    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.
