Pacstall Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• 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). Source: over 1 year ago

• Rolling release between Arch and Rhino(Ubuntu based)

  Looks like it's not a rolling release. It's a stable ubuntu with unstable packages (from the pacstall repo). Source: over 1 year ago

• 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. Source: about 2 years ago

• Want to move to linux

  I got my start to Linux with PopOS, and so I will vouch for that. They look good, have good tools, and cares a lot about the desktop experience. Also, they have a built-in recovery partition, so even if you f'd yourself, you can reset from the Settings menu or from the boot menu. It is Ubuntu-based, and be sure to check out deb-get and pacstall for some third-party apps. Source: about 2 years ago

• AUR

  Https://pacstall.dev/ is a pretty clear indicator of the fact that a fair amount of Ubuntu users do, in fact, think about the AUR a lot. ;). Source: about 2 years ago

• PSA: For all you ex-Arch users out there, check out `makedeb` and `lure` for all of your out-of-band software needs

  I recommend Pacstall over both of the softwares you suggested. https://pacstall.dev. Source: about 2 years ago

• I've been using Linux for a week , and i'm starting to like it

  Nice. If you're looking for apps on PopOS and other Ubuntu derivatives, you can also use deb-get and pacstall to get certain 3rd party and proprietary apps not in the package manager. Source: about 2 years ago

• LURE: AUR on non-Arch distros

  Plus, well, there's already pacstall and makedeb for Ubuntu-based and Debian-based, as well as the option of using distrobox, junest, and eventually Atoms to just get a portable Arch environment or just using Conty if you only want a few specific things. Source: over 2 years ago

• Steam (deb/apt) shows error message

  Hm, have you tried installing via deb-get or pacstall? They should be able to pull all the optional dependencies. Speaking of, often enough I install winehq's wine-staging first so that they could pull newer versions of some of the dependencies first. Source: over 2 years ago

• how do I install stuff

  Or maybe use pacstall which is a package manager which acts like aur and there are 2 packages which provide a microsoft teams client for linux. Source: over 2 years ago

• Thoughts on switching to LMDE 5 instead of upgrading to Mint 21 when it is out of beta.

  For an Ubuntu replacement of the AUR there is Pacstall: Https://pacstall.dev/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is Linux worth for gaming? Which distro do you recommend?

  For Ubuntu-based, I recommend Pop!_OS, they bring update pretty fast and their Pop!_Shop app store is still one of the best I've ever tried. Also, there is an integrated Factory Reset option that would wipe out your /home user data, so that's very useful for a newbie. Plus, on Ubuntu you get access to deb-get and pacstall which makes finding native apps easy. Source: over 2 years ago

• how to backup just the important stuff from linux? for clean install or migration.

  Pacstall describes itself as "The AUR for Ubuntu" but I've never used Arch so... ?? It says it needs a "pacscripts" file which I've never heard of or seen before. Do developers supply these? The website's really tiny. Source: over 3 years ago
