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?
@JohnDal #Solaris doesn't count as it's been #CCSS (#Oracle killed #OpenSolaris and outside of #NAS-Appliances from like #Nexenta, #illumos is a rounding error!) as any halfassed #Linux distro does at least some sort of #PackageManagment and/or #PatchManagment - even the most used #toybox+#musl / #Linux distro we all know as #Android...
#FLOSS allows for timely identification of issues, fast workarounds and fixes because it's not reliant on a single entity to admit the problem and fix it!
@[email protected] @[email protected] I disagree, as all such #SupplyChainAttacks are merely based upon lack or #reviewers and lack of #funding. - Whereas with #CCSS you have no independent auditability as with #FLOSS and *everything* is a *"#TrustMeBro!"* approach, which *ALL* the #GAFAMs, #PRISM-Collaborators, #CloudAct subjects and willingful #Govware integrators have forfeilt by their actions! Not to mention it's easier and faster to fix #FOSS as well as the #diversity of systems mitigate said issues (i.e. #dropbear was affected by *neither* #RegreSSHion #XZ's #backdoor, likely preventing another #Mirai-Style #Botnet from being created... - Instead of shoving money into buying #CSS Governments should instead provide proper fundibg to #OSS, instead of wasting it on #HypeBasedDevelopment / #BuzzwordDrivenDevelopment like #Zensursula's @[email protected] does with garbage like *"#AI"*... After all, these issues are systemic, and denying the root cause is turning a blind eye at the obvious fix!
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.
https://github.com/OS-1337/spm
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…"
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:
