So I recently installed Cachyos and I am now met with this problem.

There are kind of 2 main contenders here and I’m split between them. What do you use?

There is pacman + aur and then there is flatpak. Pacman has deep system integration and is much more lightweight but it has deep system integration and requires sudo to install. flatpak has sandboxing and easy permission management but it’s bloated and possibly less performant?

Of course if the package isn’t available on flathub then I will have to use the aur but when both are available it’s hard to decide.

    Why do you have both paru AND yay installed at the same time? As someone who likes Rust, I maybe should have switched to paru too. But I just can’t justify the change, because yay comes preinstalled and works just fine, and paru seems to not offer anything worthwhile the change.
