WHERE IS PACMAN, our HOLY SAVIOR?
Jokes aside, paru.
Why are there so many paru fans? Last release is a year old, constantly out of date in AUR and failing builds in Github don't scream code quality. I prefer yay.
Because it's written in rust ofcourse.
I honestly go back and forth. Depends on which one I decide to try next time I reinstall. I actually used aura for a while, but switched back to yay for the --sudo flag. (I use opendoas)
topgrade? https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade
Kinda meant it as a joke, but that's actually super cool
It's a great tool but note that by default it upgrades EVERYTHING, up to and including production cloud environments if you are connected to any.
Should've used "||"
That would be slower. This tries all of the tools in parallel.
doesn't that do all of them together, possibly making you install it multiple times ?
The idea is that only one will succeed. Look, it is a comic not a production-ready solution.
Don't care, ship it now!
Nix entered the chat
Microsoft: "winget!"
Nobody asked you, Microsoft. Go back to making compact nuclear reactors, because honestly that's based AF.
wasn't a thing yet when the comic was made; technology advances so quickly...
Where pacman?
sudo pacman -Sy $1
There you go.
It doesn't even run detached. Literally unrunnable.
“The script accepts the name of a program or package as an argument when you run it. This value is then referenced as "$1" (argument number 1). Everywhere the script says "$1", it substitutes in the name of the package you gave it. The end result is the name being tried against a large number of software repositories and package managers, and hopefully, at least one of them will be appropriate and the program will be successfully installed.”
Source: explain XKCD
Yep, thanks!
I don't think they asked for an explanation, but thanks anyways!
ExplainXKCD's a great site, more XKCD readers should know about it!
Nobody asked, but I needed it. Thought that perhaps I’m not alone, so now that I have the answer, might as well share it here.
That sonds like a good thought process, I'll try it too
flatpak install "$1"
snap install "$1"
appimage-cli-tool install "$1"
cd "$1" && docker-compose up -d
Where's sudo emerge -avq $1?? How dare you omit it?! Blasphemy!
You're gonna need a -y on apt-get
The final fallback should be robodialing some tech support service and provide TeamViewer credentials
What are you trying to acomplish with it?
It looks to me like XY Problem
They're trying to accomplish a joke.
wait.. no alpine apk?! :)
nix-shell -p "$1"
I am not the most experienced by any means, but wouldn't it be better to run it with a ";" in the spot off all of the "&" so that way if one of the commands fail it doesn't stop mid script?
winget install choco install scoop install
Is YaST* still a thing? Surprised Randall hasn't touched/included *SuSE. Then again, maybe the joke was already long enough.
gam (GitHub Application Manager)
emerge!
Unless you have a pretty exotic architecture, i.e neither x86 nor ARM, then arguably Docker "should" be "enough".
Missing pkcon
xbps-install ?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
