Setting Aliases because I can't remember the new ones

I got a buddy who switched to EndeavourOS after using Linux Mint for about a year, He said he was too lazy to learn pacman/yay so he spent an hour making fake apt aliases, I forgot what happened but after a while he gave up on it and just got use to pacman.

Writing all those aliases probably helped him learn pacman.

I just set

upd = <distro update command>
ins = <distro install command> 
pur = <distro purge command>
uin = <distro uninstall command>

in every distro, I don't know why you'd want package management to be distro specific commands

ins and uin for some reason feels wrong, like inst and tsni feels more right to me and I know it shouldn’t.

tsni feels so wrong 😭

I know but some strange part of me loves it

You’re the kind of guy that ends if statements with fi and you should be ashamed.

[–] astraeus 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I can’t tell you how many times the missing fi has hurt my feelings and made me waste precious hours of my life

Bash was a mistake.

Creates a Time Machine to go back to 1988 and tell them do not create bash

ins feels like insert. uin feels like it skips the first n on accident. To me, anyways.

You could also use the pkcon command.

I'm fine with using pacman in general, but always forget how to uninstall an app completely. So I set the alias yeet for that. Since then, I've also set it on different systems like dnf.

[–] astraeus 4 points 7 months ago

I’m kind of curious how far he got with this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've found a cheat sheet from apt to pacman/yay that helped me with that
