- What are cool things in Arch that aren’t that popular.
-
Finally set up a proper shared local pacman cache, pacoloco in an nspawn container
I'll also continue to use my script https://github.com/Cody-Learner/prep4ud to pre-download updatable packages to /var/cache/pacman/pkg on each machine.
-
Switch to the base-devel meta package requires manual intervention
Here's a script https://github.com/Cody-Learner/prep4ud to download updates in the background safely. There's also an official package pacman-contrib, which has the checkupdates script, --download option.
- Is there anything I could do so that `pacman`/`paru` show also the current version of the packages that are about to get updated?
- Pacman is so Fast
-
Program usage statistics (delete unused programs)
https://github.com/Cody-Learner/prep4ud works pretty well for me.
- What do you run in the terminal when you're bored?
- When will pacman with parallel download capability go 'stable' in the main repo?

Well there was https://github.com/RubenKelevra/pacman.store running via ipfs, but currently it is broken due to a bug in ipfs.
-
Can package upgrades be made like torrents? Like peer to peer?
There is an IPFS Archlinux package mirror (https://github.com/RubenKelevra/pacman.store)
-
I don't want to be toxic, but...
If you run arch linux you could do updates through ipfs (link), and help the network that way. Linux mint has a working ipfs mirror too i think. Dont know of any others.
-
The feasibility of using IPFS to replace linux software sources (http and ftp)!
Definitely doable but most repos are huge, so not many people who even can start one. I only know of the arch linux mirror: https://github.com/RubenKelevra/pacman.store#pacmanstore
