efly VS bauh

https://github.com/flying-dude/efly This one does its job. Alternatively if the last Arch ISO doesn't work download the second to last or third to last, it doesn't change much for a "normal" installation

So I created a Python script efly-dd , which does exactly that.

I have overhauled the efly project to include a rom image, that works similar to a traditional iso image. All packages and config files are placed on a read-only squashfs. And via overlayfs, changes are written to a tmpfs and kept until you reboot or power down.

i preserved the old script here and it still works just fine. no idea why they don't allow this anymore.

Creating the disk image yourself is very easy, if you are running an Arch Linux system. How to do that is explained on github.

For my efly live system project I created a little writeup on how to correctly place a raw disk image on a USB stick, so that you can boot an operating system from the stick. It is very newbie-friendly but also touches on some advanced subjects like block devices and hardware firmware.

the results of this poll. :)

i am currently working on a linux live system and chose to ship it with chromium preinstalled. however, i talked to a bunch of people and a lot of them actually prefer firefox. so to get some actual data, i decided to make a poll.

modern desktop systems quite often have 64GB of ram or more available. but the efly live system (repo here) had a very conservative restriction of just 256MB for the copy-on-write virtual file system.

Like bauh which supports AppImage, Arch packages (including AUR), Debian packages, Flatpak, Snap and native Web applications

github/vinifmor/bauh

If you really want a GUI package manager that doesn't break EndeavourOS, I've had a good experience with bauh when I started using EOS. But I also do everything with yay now, as others have suggested, it is more convenient once you know the commands.

Lastly, deb-get + pacstall + bauh. All of these combined covers 99% of my software needs, much less need to find and install PPAs and .deb manually. Still not as convenient as AUR, but much better than it was before. Hopefully, eventually everything is on Flatpak, snap, or AppImage so I could just use Bauh for most apps, but for now, I'm glad that these tools exists.

Is it an AppImage? Did you make it executable? If you use a lot of AppImages then you may want to add DE integration via their utility. I do not use it, as it runs a backgroudn daemon, I prefer using bauh instead.

Bauh https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh

You can use bauh. Supports AppImage, Arch packages (including AUR), Debian packages, Flatpak, Snap and native Web applications. GitHub

You may wanna take a look at bauh.

Although, if I had to I would personally suggest bauh if you want a graphical package manager. I haven't had any issues with using it, and neither have I seen people complaining about it. It also supports the following formats: AUR packages, AppImages, Flatpak, Snap and Web applications. It also integrates with Timeshift to provide a simple and safe backup process before applying changes to your system.
