Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’ve been using Manjaro for a while now and have relied heavily on the AUR (Arch User Repository) for its extensive package collection. However, I’ve encountered a particular package that hasn’t seen updates in months, which has me exploring alternatives. Can anyone recommend an exhaustive package manager that’s as user-friendly and comprehensive as the AUR? I’d love to hear your suggestions and experiences with other package managers on Manjaro. Thanks in advance for your insights!
As the other people have commented, Manjaro is a really poor choice if you are planning to use AUR. I would suggest you choose another Arch based OS, like Endeavour.
NixOS that was suggested here is very nice but has a steep learning curve.
Give Distrobox a try.
I don’t think anyone was suggesting NixOS, just the Nix package manager and repository, which will work on any distro. There’s still a bit of a learning curve, but it’s not as steep.
Yes, my bad, you are correct.
