ERROR after python3.11 update
Yay is hopelessly broken, it pretends to rebuild stuff when, in fact, it doesn't. See: https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/2153

update/build aur -git packages
I haven't used aura in a while, but as far as I understand the command sudo aura -Au --devel will only update packages that need updates based on if there are new commits upstream. As of aura 3.0.0 the git clones are kept in /var/cache/aura/vcs and when aura checks if the package needs an update it just does a pull on the repo and checks if the version is newer, so you will only see packages listed that require an update. You can add the --force flag to rebuild all of them, but that will generally do a lot of unnecessary work rebuilding packages with no updates upstream.

My transition from Windows to Linux in an anti-customer age
Yes, you need to use the CLI to run that, but it's trivial to do so and a real package management system brings many advantages over exe installers. The AUR, inspired by BSD's Ports, is one of the major advantages of Arch. It's very rare to find a package that isn't supported.

Yay not working?
Same here. Checked the github page and they're aware of it. Should be fixed soon. In the mean time I've been using aura. It's pretty great, should be more popular imo.
