      There are people that choose flatpak for some apps and the AUR for other apps I heard from a friend 🌚

      I just want new packages and Tumbleweed sucks, and don’t even get me started on Fedora and their codec nonsense. Every time I tried Fedora I run into issues. You can’t even use their packaged version of VLC cause they don’t also package the correct version of ffmpeg. Fedora is a joke. Nobara even worse cause that one is outdated on top of it. Arch is the way and you are all wrong.

        Thank software patents for the codec trouble, not Fedora / Red Hat. They just don’t want to get their asses sued for free software

        Anyway I can use VLC and ffmpeg just fine with RPMFusion, idk what ur issue is, but judging by that

        you are all wrong

        i probably just wasted my time on a brainless troll like you.

          How come the other distros don’t seem to care? Does it just come down to them being based in the US?. They can’t be the only distro mainly based in the US, can they? VLC would not play ANYTHING. That was installed from RPMFusion in Fedora Kinoite 39. But even IF it were to work, this whole RPMFusion thing is ridiculous. If I had to install a bunch of codecs and drivers from the AUR I would say the same about Arch. That would absolutely kill the distro for me.

          i probably just wasted my time on a brainless troll like you.

          Hard to argue with that ;)

          Eh, just my personal opinion. I tried it once and didn’t like it. But I can admit that is similar to me saying “Gnome sucks”. It’s obviously a matter of personal opinion.

              It’s an issue with zypper, if you ever updated your device, you did encounter it. Maybe you have never seen how fast Arch updates are in comparison.

                Well my arch machine, I update using yay, and speed it takes differs depending on how long I haven’t use that PC. On my TW PC I don’t know the time it needs, since it does it automatically when I turn off the PC…

    If an AUR package wants to install 137 python dependencies, I usually search for a flatpak instead.

        Beside what @fatihozs@mastodon.social wrote:

        • If the package wants to install an awful amount of dependencies it means those dependencies are only used by that package on my system. Flatpaks contains all dependencies, so the required disk space would be similar to the flatpak.
        • My feeling is flatpak install time is quicker in this case, to install 1 flatpak vs 138 AUR packages. I never measured it though.
        • I only do this if an insane amount of dependencies needed. Some dependencies are normal, if more than 50 than I think AUR is not an ideal way to distribute a software, or also include a -bin package.
        • If no flatpak available I still install the 137 dependencies, so nothing wrong with that, it’s simply the way I like to manage my system.

        @pineapplelover @infeeeee No, some people just don’t want to install tons of packages just for an application they want to use to. The more package means the higher chance for system breakage. It’s better checking dependencies and pkgbuild before install

          Yeah but I thought if I installed it through AUR natively then it would be better since if other programs need those same dependencies, I wouldn’t have to install them again.

      You can remove dependencies after install, at least in yay, I never do tho.

        That’s install dependencies (in PKGBUILD they are called makedepends), python programs usually need them for runtime (depends in PKGBUILD). On the main page of a package they are listed together, but on the PKGBUILD they are separate

          😁 I know (well that about two types of dependencies)

          That python dependency seem more a upstream issue, not a AUR issue, isn’t it? I mean, if I install the same app from another source, it still needs those dependencies, isn’t it?

      Personally i like chaotic-aur because it’s already pre compiled
      The only aur packages on my is system is stacer-bin (the only cleaner i trust other than bleachbit)
