how many things do you have installed from the AUR? i've always tried to keep the number low because it just seems like a good idea, but curious to see what others call sensible, or even decadent.
my count: 5
you can check with pacman -Qm
my apps are some haskell package which i guess is a dependency, input remapper, librewolf, swayr and wlrctl.
i'm probably going to swap swayr for a smaller prev window switcher, or leave it entirely if i stay on labwc
Fabian@reallychris Thanks for posting the pacman command. I wasn't aware of it and find it useful!
@reallychris On my system (#CachyOS) I have 11 things installed from the AUR. The most used is cryptomator (encrypted safe that can live in any cloud storage), davfs2 to mount a nextcloud, dutree, and then there's stuff related to the R programming language. I.e. two IDEs and some dependencies for R itself or for some of the R pckgs I use: positron, rstudio, gcc9, gfortran9, udunits and v8-r.
Anatoly Tsyplenkov@reallychris Not an Arch user here. Why would one want to reduce the number of AUR packages installed? I always thought of AUR as of superpower of Arch
@atsyplenkov i figure it's a mix of a real concern about technical debt, putting more faith in less reliably maintained packages (for want of a better word), and superstition. the AUR is great, but it just doesn't come with the same assurance as the official arch repos.
(sorry for delayed reply this was filtered for some reason)
@reallychris No worries! Thanks 🤗
