Also, YAY is available, and it offers both pacman and a clean manager that lets you click a button to run the update stuff if thats your thing ( still opens a command prompt to ask for your password and shows all the update info... command line = EOS-update) Which is essentially calling yay, so not honestly any cleaner... the package lists become the same once you start customizing the os to your personal liking.
Hmm. Ok. I'll think about it. Still not sold on AUR after the recent fuckry. If you don't like AUR, there literally no reason to use Arch
