I’ve been using paru. Just wanted to know if aura is, in your opinion, better than paru and why.
Neither. Use yay, because it sounds happy.
Hehe
I’m using yay, because it was “the new thing”, when I switched to Arch (and Arch-based systems)
But after that I’ve stopped comparing
Is there anything new, that is actually worth switching from yay?
Paru was at one point a rewrite of yay in Rust, and has since continued development as a pseudo parallel fork. It’s good. Dunno if it’s worth switching, you’d have to see if there’s any specific features you might happen to want, but they’re both fine
Switched to yay after yaourt was abandoned and never looked back.
For me paru, but never tried Aura
Never used aura but paru is great specially if you also install bat for colored PKGBUILDs.
Makes reading them much easier. I never did before doing this.
I have decided against Aura because it splits the commands for AUR from the standard repos. With paru I can upgrade both by running just paru. In the end, that’s all I mostly do with an aur helper.
