Actually, I'd challenge you on your system being -bloated- because there's a lot of packages. As you say, it comes from all those windows managers and their dependencies. But that is not bloat - that is stuff you are actually using. My own system has 1162 packages, and it _is_ bloated. Because I _know_ a good chunk of that is actually stuff I am not using and I should get around to cleaning that shit up. :P
Just to react to the notion that -lots of stuff = bloat-. It's only bloat if it's not useful. :P
(Then again, I also suspect that I have one of the most unbloated Gnome sessions on the planet after the fanatical cleaning session I put my systems through to get it down to BSPWM-level RAM usage. :P There's just a whole lot of other random garbage I should clean up after random saturday tinkering session number 422...)

As a normal user, why would I install Arch Linux by taking up considerable amount of my time when I can install the same thing with some minor differences without going through all the tedious command lines process? Manjaro is very forward setting up and getting started right away.

I have tried installing this, but after running makepkg and getting the name of the file that makepkg produces (aura-bin 3.2.7-1), it says 'target not found'
What is the name of the file it produces? The console says:
---Finished making: aura-bin 3.2.7-1---

I been using aura for well over a year now. Been really good so far. I use aura-bin and compile my own xmonad with stack. I develop in Haskell and avoid the arch Haskell packages just due to size and conflicts.

This snapshot feature makes me wonder if a config-file-based AUR package manager exists (a bit like NixPkgs, but for AUR). Could be very useful for dotfiles

Just tried this out. After attempting to run sudo aura -Au, I just get this message: aura >>= As of makepkg v4.2, building as root is no longer possible.

I starting installing aura at the start of the video, and I'm still installing at the end of the video...
Only 4 GB of dependencies so far. lulz.

Been through that before with pacaur etc. Then I settled with yay so far. But aura seems to look like a nice alternative. Thanks for the callout!

Hey DT,
The problem with Haskell is it has too much dependencies not that it has dependencies. When installing aura it has 100+ dependencies.

New to Arch, actually to Linux and this is very useful!
And yes, I, a noob installed Arch from scratch, it ain't hard people.
