Apt is the superior package manager. Everyone else is wrong.
Lol
but does your package manager show a video game animation when you download a package? (pacman for life)
Pacman + yay is superior. pacman for most packages, and yay to use the AUR, where you can get pretty much anything that can be downloaded online, but as a package so that you can more easily manage what shit you've downloaded before but no longer need.
Until the package adding and removing entropy lits your whole system on fire and you have to untangle dependencies, purge keyring, flush your system and reinstall
Luckily that hasn't happened to me yet, though I'd say pacman is still far better than something like apt, even if you have to untangle dependencies.
Literally never heard of paru before now, I just went with yay, since it's better than manually
git clone-ing the aur package and also manually reviewing the PKGBUILD and then building it. I'll try it out and see how it is.xbpsFTWHave you tried out our lord and saviour
xbps?
