Please note that pacman is the official and best supported package manager on Arch based systems.
That’s why it is the most reliable one, and the recommended one to use.
Yay is also great because it supports also AUR software (but pacman doesn’t).
As a side note, please keep in mind that AUR software is not officially supported and thus can be unreliable in some cases.
That said I believe yay does like aurman and just pipe through commands that pacman handles? aka if you run “yay -Syyu” yay is actually letting pacman handle that part and then takes over and checks for AUR updates.
As packagemanagers or helpers i prefer not to mix it to much. You can also make life easier to make a sudo pacman alias in .bashrc or .zshrc, mine calls pie, to update i type cake
I do use yay but personal prefer trizen because better to manipulate pkgbuild, yay has a --editmenu bug, if you change or add. Depency it does not its jobs. but as pgp keys is yay bit better, problem with helpers is, if like for yay go updated and yay is not update, some little quirks can come in and you dont know what it is. Is like slaming against a invisible wall and you dont know why
I had installed also AntergOS to begin with on my laptop. After the distribution was discontinued, I’ve made the transition to Arch using same installation. After some configuration everything worked fine. My question now is this: If I want to change to EndeavourOS now, will this steps show me the way also?
i would not do this, better to do a clean install, but if you want to follow the steps and take care on changes you already make to change to arch only…
As I recall the question was referring to the initial poster and I thank him for spending 2 mins to respond on this.
If you had spent more time to read my post you would have noticed that I have already made a migration to plain Arch from Antergos, so your comment on how glad I must be does not apply here.
