I need a unzip tool because there are zip files needed to be unzip.
During previous post, i did mentioned that looking for packages with $pacman -Ss zip does not provide friendly result. I was totally confused … don’t know what should be installed.
pacman search result
Even pacman -Si gives me the result on the first shot, but pacman -Ss bring only confusion…
I read thru the list, over 10 packages already i still can’t find what i am looking for, only confusion with packages that is so similar in name.
pacman Si result
However pamac give me the 1st result on the list:
pamac
Arch Package webpage also provides me with the 1st result what i am looking for.
arch package web
So, the question is, how arch user searching for package of interest using pacman ? I want to learn to use pacman to install packages… especially when i have never use the package before and don’t know the exact name…
There is no “sort by relavent” flag on pacman -Ss ?
Well, you guys said try to use pacman instead of pamac… hence i am trying to learn to use pacman instead… and the first use is zip file… and i can’t find it.
I have to use pamac to confirmed that zip package is really named “zip”, so that i can download from pacman… but since i am in pamac already, who will want to switch back to pacman to download something that already infront of my finger
No worry, i won’t be dictated by ppl of what do use…
I am just thinking maybe i really missed out something that more elite user know… since they can use terminal for everything, i am trying to catch up as well, i know the benefit of terminal over gui in most of the cases…
For example,
I still uses terminal to adjust backlighting of monitors and hdmi monitor… which there is no such feature even on endeavouros gui (or the adjustment is too coarse).
wau why you call this elite ?
If someone is using another language then you you would call him elitist because he can speak another language? Or someone from the office using tables (excel) It is in now way about elitism, it is only experience what is a good thing, elitsm is something else.
I do not want to be harsh but i was wondering to see this word in context that you get help from someone with this experience.
Oh, sorry you think it that way. When i said elite in linux my spirit really means elite in linux… i was not having any evil meaning or any sort. When i said elite… i am really admiring them who have high knowledge and skill, that’s all…
I know “elite” word is nowaday being used in bad direction… like those elite who highly exalt themselves and trying to control other ppl… like those political elite… but that was not what i meant.
Since english is not my mother language… i suppose you guys know more than me… hence i appologize if causes anybody any hurt or harm. No worry! be happy
I do not mean it badly altogether, only was not clear to what your feeling was at the post.
And English is not my native language too.
But thanks to clear that for me!
