  • I’ve actually found it useful. I searched Reddit for a specific technical question and it responded with "Here’s what other users asked, what people said in the comments, and the links to their posts.

    Although, I did a standard search for Reddit, and the AI appeared instead of the results. I did not intentionally summon the AI. It’s also terribly prone to hallucinations and lying.




















  • I wish I new how to easily install an AUR package manager when I first started.

    Step 1: go to the AUR and choose a package manager. I recommend paru, but there are plenty of others.

    Step 2: install git using pacman

    sudo pacman -S git 
    

    Step 3: copy the git clone URL for paru and pull it

    git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
    

    Step 4: CD into the new directory

    cd paru
    

    Step 5: install paru

    makepkg -si
    

    Now when you find a package from the AUR you want, you can easily install it.

    paru -S [package]
    

    Also, when you update your system, you only need to run paru -Syu. You don’t need to run both pacman -Syu and paru -Syu.
