by the way, I see this sentiment a lot, what's wrong with just pulling programs off of the terminal
by the way, I see this sentiment a lot, what's wrong with just pulling programs off of the terminal from a trusted repository?
AFedora doesn't have aur and copr is not up there yet but it's quite good
Tcan break updates with certain packages and COPR repos
AAur is also not trusted
Hwhy are Flatpaks considered so much better? I mean I honestly prefer downloading things through a GUI too but the Discover store pisses me off beyond belief
Tyou can fix that breakage by removing the package
Tbecause shit usually just works
APretty much, when they both work local install is better
Tif you dont like discover

HIt's not AUR specifically as much as the fact that big Linux distributions like Arch and Fedora tend to have every app you'd want through a terminal install command, Arch's is just the biggest afaik
Tflatpak can install with CLI
Hso an Arch-based distro not being able to make use of AUR icked me off
AYou must be confusing the arch repository with aur
Hthe Package Search specifically
HI'm new to Linux so forgive me if I confuse terms
AThe Arch package repository is a bit more full featured
ABut fedora is not bad at all
VYouTubeFan The Deck
Big update for Steam Deck and PC gaming plus a Steamy lawsuit and talk about some really huge milestones for Steam and Steam Deck, the launch of the MSI Claw, not to mention why Valve is not done with the Steam Deck. I also want to talk about my game of the week but that’ll have to wait until the end of the video.

VBazzite coverage on a big deck channel 
HYeah I just think repositories are great, so many times I've tried installing something that ends up being a .tar.gz with no sensible documentation on how to install it
Hbut I can just sudo apt get it and it'll install fine
T.tar.gz:happy_green_trees: avoid these at all costs imo
HI got too used to using the terminal because all I've used up until this point was Arch and Arch-based stuff
Tfor your sanity
Kspeaking of which, we ship boxbuddy now
Hyup, that's why I love repositories
HDon't have to read or do anything
K
Tboxbuddy my beloved
Kwhich gives you GUI management of distrobox & exported apps
AYeah arch is great for thst
Kalso, we use Ptyxis as our terminal, which is similar to GNOME terminal
HI've not used Distrobox before but I should learn it
Kbut comes with distrobox integration
Tyes
AWhen I got into it I also confused Aur with the package repository
Tyou'll have access to most linux software with this
K
VSublime is on Linux?
Tcan install .deb or .rpm files
Tyes
Kyea always has been
HI noticed, I was looking for the Konsole for six minutes before I realized you guys used ptyxis
Kthe flatpak is ancient so I install in distrobox
Kyou can switch back if you prefer, there's a ujust command
Kbut do try ptyxis, it's real good
VI use it for my web dev class, would've been good to know sooner lmfao
Keven opengl acceleration works
Hhopefully without nuking the system (I signed the HoloArch keys into SteamOS, downloaded GnomeParted off of AUR and killed the system)
