Dear Manjaro users: Do you use pamac?

I only use the pamac tray icon to see whether I should update something.

It was not a deliberate decision made:
Instead of using the pamac UI which I do not like very much (coming from Linux Mint) I just use flatpak (because I sort of knew already) CLI right away and knowing Manjaro is based on Arch I just went for pacman.

This has the advantage I can use both CLIs wherever they are supported. Is there something I miss when not using Manjaros pamac?

So if you ask: "How do you do #PackageManagment?"

Well, I do work on something called #spm which would then use #toybox's #wget implementation to just pull like an archive, extract it and put the binary where it belongs.

OFC that's beyond the scope of OS/1337 alone but it might be useful and necessary if we really want a system that can go:
"#boot this #Floppy (image),
#SSH into the system and you can basically do a sort-of-#NetInstaller that way…"

#spm #OS1337

Talking about Python package managers I really like `poetry` but I would happily argue for `pdm` versus using `pip` and `requirements.txt` files.

@fdroidorg which is a good thing.

Also I find #FDroid's #PackageManagment to be a convenient alternative to #Firebase and other proprietary / #SaaS-only tools to test & update #beta app versions thanks to the fact that anyone can spin up their own (private) F-Droid compatible repo server:

The fdroidserver tools provide everything you need to set up and maintain your own repos, run an fdroid build server, and even host your own website like f-d...
