I used to like Ubuntu as well, but nowadays I have more problems with it than just having no AUR equivalent. The way that they are forcing more and more snaps onto the users without our consent. The way that the server side of snap is not free software. That you can't change to a different snap repository than the one Canonical provides. That you do not have control about updates to snap packages sometimes, they just happen without you consenting to them. I feel that this takes away some of my freedoms.

If there was a community-supported API, to interchange package names between distros, and able to move up and down distro versions automatically... then you could in theory use that to port over the entire AUR, or am I idealistically simplifying things?

I think even if people say the AUR or pacstall is insecure, which it is, then I can say: Sometimes you just have to take a risk... And in my opinion getting viruses or malware etc on Linux is much harder than on Windows or MacOS...

hey dt, I'm using your dmenu scripts and I love it! but I have noticed a flaw: you can't paste the clipboard on the dmenu menu, for exemple using dmsearch it would be cool to be able to paste the clipboard with ctrl+v then search.

11:43 : the french ubuntu community is actually great, they have a big and very active forum, and a wiki similar to arch's one over their website (ubuntu-fr.org)

Soooo NOT an Aur clone since using either Pamac or yay to install something from AUR it will always get the deps needed... but i hope it will be in some time ...

Very cool. I was on Ubuntu for years before switching to Manjaro after discovering how amazing AUR was. I might try Pacstall out. Looks promising.

What about Linuxbrew?
Overall it would be great if it's possible to install packages just in the user space so that you don't need sudo.

Make a video on hyperbola doing a bsd based distro and abandoning the linux kernel. Or how rust which is not FOSS might appear in the kernel.

TBH nix is more reliable option for the same thing right now. Just install fresh and not supported software through nix pkg and that's it
