I prefere paru over YAY. But both do there job.
Me too. They are very similar though.
I mainly just prefer paru because it’s written in Rust, while yay is Go.
same, and the development is more community driven in my opinion.
What’s the advantage of using yay over pacman?
One nice feature is you can update all packages and AUR packages with one command “yay -Syu”
Or just
yay(it’s shorthand foryay -Syu)Oh ok. Isn’t that what pacman -Syyu does though?
Pacman does not update or install AUR packages. That’s probably the main difference between pacman and yay (or similar AUR helper)
Pacman doesnt install AUR packages.
yay is great and the name is fun - It’s probably the reason for its popularity
