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!

    I don’t know, looking at the number of non-unique packaged projects, I think if you do the math, you get pretty much the same number of packages. I have only ever found 2 packages that I used on Arch that are not available on NixOS, Nitroshare and nwg-look. For a tiling window manager user that uses some pretty niche packages, I think that’s pretty, pretty good, eh?
