Installed Arch Linux
paru has better defaults and --chroot, whereas it's still an open issue for yay.

Discovery gives "The PackageKit daemon has crashed" error suddenly (Arch)
If you use AUR packages, you might want to use an AUR helper that wraps pacman, like paru or yay.

I'm seriously so sick of the pop ups on every website I visit.
This one: https://github.com/Jguer/yay Didn't know there were others..

List of available software to install?

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
-
GPU and Motherboard drivers needed?
If you want, use a nice AUR helper afterwards (I like Yay https://github.com/Jguer/yay but there's plenty to choose from).

Who would like something like endeavor os but based off of void
BUGS Probably, but I try to make this not happen. Use it under your own responsibility and enjoy your life. Report bugs at https://github.com/void-linux/xbps/issues

What is the cleanest, most well written, best structured, open source C project you've seen?
mpv and the xbps package manager both come to mind. I read them casually and found them very easy to grasp.

xbps-21.1 released
I've just released xbps-21.1. This incorporates lots of improvements compared to the current xbps version available in void-linux/xbps. Note that https://github.com/void-linux/xbps is the version used by default in void.

Using NetBSD’s pkgsrc everywhere I can
Nothing against nixpkgs, but if the user is curious about how things are done in BSD perhaps he should try xbps before nixpkgs. It was written by a former NetBSD committer who wrote some useful programs for NetBSD's userland. I am biased perhaps but I believe it is faster than any other Linux package manager. Always looking for something faster so I am welcome to being proven wrong on that.

can't update: 'failed to remove obsolete entry'
Then try with --debug and --verbose, those errors do not stop the update: https://github.com/void-linux/xbps/blob/4a5eb8dc87cf08ad919ec6602ef5a70e8514710c/lib/package_unpack.c#L127-L134.
