    hmm okay thanks I will check those out maybe that is the missing piece.

    so paru is the equivalent to apt-build install

    but unlike Debian the Repo is outside the distribution.

    i think I’m getting it thank you while I have no interest in leaving debian but this will be fun in distrobox.

      To be specific…

      Install something from the main repo:

      $ paru -S package

      Install something from the AUR:

      $ paru -S package

      To search for a package, in the main repo or the AUR:

      $ paru -Ss search-term

      With the search results, it clearly labels if something is from the AUR or extras or the main repo, and you can make it show AUR results first or last in the config.

      I don’t actually use pacman directly at all, I use paru for everything and it’s seamless.
