Vanilla Arch? It's a derivative of Arch and is completely different. It's like comparing Debian with Ubuntu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd title considering that it’s a tutorial, not a remaster. A remaster means that you changed something. Sort of like a distro respin.

abarbarian Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) How to Use AUR with Arch Linux Quote Arch User Repository, also known as AUR, is a major part of the Arch Linux ecosystem. It’s a community-driven repository for the Arch Linux system that hosts a number of packages outside the official Arch Linux package database. Popular AUR projects can eventually get into the official Arch repository! The fact is, a good number of all the new packages added to the Arch Linux official repositories were first AUR packages before becoming official. A very clear and informative guide to using the AUR. Personally I use , pacman -Rns somepackage when uninstalling a program as I do not want .pacsave files lying around my pc.

securitybreach Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I do the same when removing packages..... -Rns As far as the AUR, you really only need wget and makepkg to install stuff. AUR helpers make it easier and I usually suggest yay as a nice pacman like AUR helper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not and have never have promoted Arch in a real way like that. There are some tshirts, stickers, etc linked from archlinux.org but that is as far as it goes: Donate Products via Zazzle Products via Unixstickers T-shirts via Freewear T-shirts via HELLOTUX Those are just ones that donate some of the proceeds to the project. The anime is from a fanboy/user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
