I use flatpak, pacman, and yay for my software management. I unify the basic needs by using these aliases:
SEARCH
fsearch = flatpak search <input>
psearch = pacman -Ss <input>
ysearch = yay -Ss <input>
REMOVE
fremove
premove
yremove
LIST
flist
plist
ylist
GARBAGE COLLECTION
fcg
pcg
ycg
And so on.
Additionally I also gave ucg as well as an all-in-one garbage collector command.
From my experience and understanding there are generally two ways to ‘run’ a file.
Firstly, the output is an executable itself. Assuming the permissions are valid you can just do “. /yourFile” and it’ll just execute. If the file doesn’t have the proper permissions, just do “chmod +x ./yourFile” to allow execution.
Secondly, some executables require you to run them through a specific program. Such as Java or Python. If Java, it’d be something like “java ./yourFile.jar” If Python, it’d be something like “python ./yourFile.py”
Sometimes it requires extra flags like “-jar” or similar. You just gotta look it up at that point. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
In Kate, you can toggle the terminal through a shortcut for easy access.
