Summary
- PacHub provides a GTK4/libadwaita GUI for pacman and AUR, so you can avoid the terminal.
- PacHub can install/uninstall packages, perform upgrades, and has auto AUR support via yay or paru.
- It’s not in the Arch repos or AUR, so you’ll need to grab it from GitHub manually.
Arch Linux has a reputation for being one of the toughest operating systems to set up, but we’re seeing tools emerge and develop to make getting the distro up and running easier. Even Arch Linux’s bundled service, Archinstall, has been enjoying updates that make it easier to use. However, once people have the distro successfully running on their computers…then what?
Well, it seems PacHub has an answer. This third-party app makes it a lot easier to use the legendary duo of Pacman and the Arch User Repository (AUR) by adding a UI that can control either. And while it’s not officially a part of Arch’s package of apps just yet, we hope it gets added soon.
