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

Maybe there's builtin customizepkg or custom repo support in some helper?

I love typing 'yay kitty' on a new install

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago

And now I must follow suit
