“Just use cli bro” yeah okay, yay might be less trouble, but I like being able to keyword-search the AUR and flatpak and stuff.
I moved from Manjaro linux(icky, run by libertarians I think, smelly) to EndeavourOS(based, presumably run by commies and anarchsists, sexy) for a bunch of reasons, like Endeavour runs really well even from an old hard drive, it’s a great OS. I kind of miss Pamac though.
From Mint to Manjaro I’ve always preferred the graphical program-installation way, which is probably windows brainworms that just won’t leave. Having to yay s
and remember xfce4-sensors-plugin
without typos is a lot more annoying than just punching “sensors” into a search bar, so Endeavour’s lack of a GUI installer is kind of troublesome to me. I tried just installing Pamac but it’s made by Manjaro devs and errors out with exit status 8
or 4
more than half the time. Instead of digging in my heels and yelling about wanting Pamac to work, what else can I use on Endeavour to achieve the same ends?
