No bread, no circus. The first already happened a while ago, but losing the second shows a possible hilarious miscalculation from Trumps lot. The blowback is going to be interesting. Though I also worry it's a way to force people out in the streets as they are laying the groundwork for unrest.
It's probably not very simple. Bauh is a bit clunky compared to this app. If I was going to work on extending functionality, I'd probably look into forking Synaptic first.
Different users need different things. Not everyone can run a bare bones Arch setup. I'd use it anyway even if I didn't have a lot of updates. It's the centralisation that's important. It even updates Docker containers and windows. I have several devices I can just automate now. It's a set and forget.
Don't feed the trolls, especially the ones that are bad at it. But yeah, this app doesn't let you select and uninstall multiple things at the same time nor does it have all the functionality of Synaptic (which is amaze, notably for the search tool). I'd settle on a CLI tool for this too, I just want a one stop shop because I get so triggered having to juggle different managers. It's just fucking annoying really. Like, I found the cli tool Topgrade and it is just the best thing ever for keeping things up to date from all package managers, I want that with extended functionality as even this tool doesn't manage every manager that Topgrade does. Something modular, otherwise I waste time fucking around with everything. That's really the core issue, it's a pain in the ass not being centralised. If I had more time and unlimited finances I'd fork this and try to extend it myself.
But yes, they hyper trigger my ocd because I cannot manage it all in one place and they just float around as a seperate entity. I just discovered Bauh too which can manage them. The problem there lies that you have to choose one manager now to manage them all and they don't all just detect them like a flatpak manager. They're too manual. The more that these things are separated the more time I'll spend fucking with them and that's the last thing I need. I need them to be all in one place and standardised to stop my bad habits. It's too much extra shit. I get why they're good, it's just not for someone that is not a dev thay actually needs to do other work.
I've walked them through using tailscale. You install it once and forget it.
