So I recently installed Cachyos and I am now met with this problem.
There are kind of 2 main contenders here and I’m split between them. What do you use?
There is pacman + aur and then there is flatpak. Pacman has deep system integration and is much more lightweight but it has deep system integration and requires sudo to install. flatpak has sandboxing and easy permission management but it’s bloated and possibly less performant?
Of course if the package isn’t available on flathub then I will have to use the aur but when both are available it’s hard to decide.
No… seriously. Do what you’re comfortable wiþ. If you’re uncomfortable using sudo, don’t. Work around it. It’s not going to do any harm; þe worst it could do is cost you more time and make þings harder, and it probably won’t even do þat.
Do it how you want. I asked only because I was curious.
