Any gotchas running app via C++?
One of my rust libraries is for bindings to C++ library. It uses cxx crate, which was honestly kind of a pain to get it right. If you decide to go that route you can check it out as reference https://gitlab.com/volian/rust-apt.

Yep.. I'm dumping APT for Nala.
Development on Nala has kind of slowed down for a bit. We're basically only fixing bugs ATM. We're working on a rewrite in rust, but this requires bindings to the apt C++ API which we also have to write. We've made good progress on this https://gitlab.com/volian/rust-apt.

Search package in multiple managers
I use some package managers to install my programs in Kubuntu, apt which is the distro's default, pacstall and [brew](https:// brew.sh).

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
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.
