WHERE IS PACMAN, our HOLY SAVIOR?
Jokes aside,
paru.Why are there so many paru fans? Last release is a year old, constantly out of date in AUR and failing builds in Github don’t scream code quality. I prefer yay.
Because it’s written in rust ofcourse.
topgrade? https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade
Kinda meant it as a joke, but that’s actually super cool
It’s a great tool but note that by default it upgrades EVERYTHING, up to and including production cloud environments if you are connected to any.
“The script accepts the name of a program or package as an argument when you run it. This value is then referenced as “$1” (argument number 1). Everywhere the script says “$1”, it substitutes in the name of the package you gave it. The end result is the name being tried against a large number of software repositories and package managers, and hopefully, at least one of them will be appropriate and the program will be successfully installed.”

Yep, thanks!
I don’t think they asked for an explanation, but thanks anyways!
ExplainXKCD’s a great site, more XKCD readers should know about it!
Nobody asked, but I needed it. Thought that perhaps I’m not alone, so now that I have the answer, might as well share it here.
That sonds like a good thought process, I’ll try it too
Microsoft: “winget!”
Nobody asked you, Microsoft. Go back to making compact nuclear reactors, because honestly that’s based AF.
wasn’t a thing yet when the comic was made; technology advances so quickly…
Yeah, but it’s also a Windows exclusive - so it’s just usable on the Windows platform, but it’s a package managed for windows!
winget install gimp.GIMPinstalls gimp, no browser necessary =)Check the link though. Microsoft might pull a sneaky in the future. “All Winget packages will be bundled with telemetry for security” or something like that.

Where pacman?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
flatpak install "$1" snap install "$1" appimage-cli-tool install "$1"cd “$1” && docker-compose up -d
You’re gonna need a -y on apt-get
The final fallback should be robodialing some tech support service and provide TeamViewer credentials
nix-shell -p "$1"Nix!
Is YaST* still a thing? Surprised Randall hasn’t touched/included *SuSE. Then again, maybe the joke was already long enough.
It would be zypper these days.
gam(GitHub Application Manager)emerge!
I am not the most experienced by any means, but wouldn’t it be better to run it with a “;” in the spot off all of the “&” so that way if one of the commands fail it doesn’t stop mid script?

Yeah you are right. Thanks for the correction
And even then, don’t you want
||? You want to run the next one only if the previous one failed, right?
