switch from nouveau to 390xx drivers xorg
Next compile / install the AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx-dkms - I'd recommend using a helper app like paru to help installing updates for it easier. Reboot and the nvidia v390 kernel module should have loaded. Source: about 1 year ago
What goes into maintaining an Arch system?
Many users also use an AUR helper, which makes it easier to install and upgrade packages from the AUR. Yay and paru are the most popular. Source: almost 2 years ago
How can I add aur in an arm arch Linux, is it with the same paru-bin located at https://aur.archlinux.org/paru-bin.git ????
Paru-bin provides binaries for x86_64 and aarch64. If your device is not aarch64, you'll have to build paru from source. Source: almost 2 years ago
any solution for checkupdates-aur
I use paru as my aur helper. It uses the same flags pacman does with additional ones if you want to handle only aur updates instead of both pacman packages + aur. Source: about 2 years ago
The name of the presenter is synaptic
You can get an AUR helper such as yay or paru to automate the process. Source: about 2 years ago

Using pikaur, how would I disable asking me "Do you want to edit PKGBUILD for <package_name> package? [Y/n]"
Have a look here. Did you not search for the answer? That's part of the Arch(based) ethos. We tend to like to learn by reading whatever is required. :). Source: about 1 year ago
Nala v0.10.0 - Nala's A Legible Apt
I was also looking for something nicer for Arch, but haven't found anything as nice as Nala. For now, I switched to pikaur, which at least displays updates in a much clearer way. Source: almost 2 years ago
I created a tool to install AUR packages in 1 click from the website: Aurin
Nice, but this definately needs a dependency resolver, otherwise it can only install a fraction of the available AUR packages. Since you're already using python, you may adapt your whole code on top a another python-based AUR helper like pikaur. You maybe also could take at the dep resolver of my ABS project. It's python, too, maybe not as clean as pikaur's code but simpler and not too integrated. Source: about 2 years ago
Which AUR-helper is recommended?
I've been using pikaur ever since pacaur became abandonware and I'm very happy with it, can't recommend it enough. Sure, it's not implemented in Rust or Go so it's certainly not as cool as yay or paru but that doesn't really matter much to me, being an end user. I don't really care as long as it does its job, as advertised. Source: about 3 years ago
