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 Last release is a year old, constantly out of date in AUR and failing builds in Github don't scream code quality.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.

It also sounds much happier, yay!

Kid you not, that was my first reason to adopt it (next to having a short name).

Because paru has a working sudoloop and config, unlike yay.

Could you elaborate?

yay sometimes asks for sudo even when sudoloop is on, and paru's config is in an easy to find location.

Oh, and you can change the program paru uses for root access.

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)
