2 days agoI just reinstalled arch last weekend and have both paru and yay installed. Only real difference between them is yay is Go and paru is Rust. Both work great and very similarly. I think the paru dev originally worked on yay.
I tend to choose the pacman and aur over flatpaks or snaps, something about the isolation layer never sat right with me.
Im running arch proper, nothing come pre-installed. But I originally used paru and then installed yay cuz I was troubleshooting something. Never removed it.
Fo what it’s worth, it doesn’t hurt anything to have multiple installed so you can see which you like. They shouldn’t interfere with eachother.
