I use Fedora 38, it’s stable, things just work, and the software is up-to-date.

    Ever tried paru? Did the jump a while ago and it is slightly better, the best kind of better.

      I’ve been messing with paru to gauge its functionality against yay.

      So far I’m unimpressed. The cli display is somewhat tidier/neat. I like that. But when it comes to actually installing something, it’s less than stellar.

      For instance, if I want to skip any confirmation, I can use the undocumented flag --noconfirm. But that only works if I’m passing the flag to install, -S. If, say, I’m searching for a package, simply typing paru <package>, then the interactive menu no longer works. It simply exits with the message ‘nothing to do’.

      yay, on the other hand, works flawlessly with the --noconfirm flag.

      I noticed that paru has some upgrading/updating features that are nice. I might use it once in a while to upgrade/update the system. But that’s pretty much it for now.

      Thanks for reminding me of paru! I’ve checked and I have it installed already. But I confess that I’m so used to yay that I completely forgot about paru.

      Do you have any paru tutorial you recommend?
