Correction, warning not an error
A little bit of googling always helps
The home variable is not set in your shell configuration, which you need to do manually

$HOME is set automatically for your user on log in. If Pamac is using a different instance of that variable, and it’s not being set, then it’s a bug in Pamac.

People use pamac for updates?
That's just silly and looking for issues.
The terminal is your friend for updating.

And Pamac-AUR installs itself even in the newest dr460nized release. Along with MPV when I checked VLC. Bah!
I dislike shit that shits on me. If I didn't have a terabyte of data in btrfs I would seriously consider returning to Arch. Just plain old Arch, where the only shit there is because I put it there. This distribution smacks of Big Brotherism way too much, IMHO.
I dunno. Maybe it's just early morning pain & angst. Maybe I just miss Arch.

This sounds like a bug.
(a humbug, to be precise)
No, but seriously, @dr460nf1r3 might want to have a look at the release if it’s doing weird things.

Huh? 
Some more context please

MPV is in the iso profile for dr460nized, so you’d have to remove it manually. It’s possible the setup assistant bugged out and didn’t install VLC even though you checked it.
Not sure about Pamac, maybe it’s a dependency of a package listed in the profile. I know it’s always come with all the editions out of the box.

I didn't knew what was pamac until this topic, lmao
While running the various post-installation assistants--I have no idea which one--even though I did not check anything other than Octopi--Pamac-AUR was installed. I didn't notice until "Add/Remove Software" (or something like that) showed up in the Menu. It has done so previously.
If that is not happening to others, then it's something in my procedures. The first thing I do post-install is to install reflector-simple, run it and do a full system update. I've found the first-run update assistant's mirror selection is unsatisfactory, considering my Seattle/Tacoma location. Subsequently, I then run all the scripts.
But it did not happen in the KDE Barebones latest release I completed installing within the past hour following the same procedure as in Dr460nized. Neither was MPV, although I can understand it being so in Dr460nized.
And, @zoeruda, I've noted that just because an application is installed to the Live ISO, does not mean that is what gets installed to metal. Not with Dr460nized. Time and again I have noted that.
KDE Barebones exhibited no problems whatsoever. None. And it's a pleasure to work from.
Two things you should note:
-
I am really enamored of Garuda, though I've only tested the various KDEs. When I first started using Linux we could only dreamed of having utilities, tools, various installers, what have you with UIs that functioned correctly but were also open to user-modification. Simple, nothing hidden UIs. Everyone had gotten so tired of doing everything in a terminal, sometimes needing to chroot to do so. I cannot express how far Linux has come in so relatively a short time period.
-
The second, is that I love installing and testing your KDE releases. Seeing the improvements made to each release, exploring the changes, etc. is part of what my various jobs were in an unnamed Linux distribution I was heavily involved with back in the past, before I got hooked on Arch and Arch-based. That, maintaining and moderating the website, answering general technical questions, simple scripting, building ISOs and all the other scut work that only Linux distribution developers experience. I'm completely burnt from it all.
I'm more Linux Emiritus now at age-69. Damn it. I'm becoming forgetful of procedures that had become so rote I could type them blind, and now I can't even remember some of their names. It's the shits! But I keep playing in Linuxland, and life is fine. It really is.
And please forgive my gripes from time-to-time. It just means it's early in the day and I haven't consumed any cannabis yet.

Funny how often you put your ganja consumption at the center ...

I would much rather blame everything on lack of cannabis, than old-age, stubbornness, and stupidity.
(Wouldn't you?)
EDIT: I mean, some people have to drink alcohol to get stupid. Not me.

Pamac-AUR is still preinstalled - now that you mentioned it it doesn’t really make sense to include it in the package manager selection of the setup assistant. The reason is simple though - for inexperienced people who don’t know about what all the package managers names its unarguably the most convenient solution for managing packages via GUI.
There are indeed some applications which aren’t present in the installed system while being available in live - examples would be the Garuda chroot shortcut or various applications used for system maintenance.
Thats really nice to hear !

I would argue in opposition to that, all day long. I was there when Manjaro users created it. I even complained the name was too close to Pacman’s and might lead to confusion on the part of some users.
I see that it has indeed had that effect.
Octopi has been around quite a bit longer and is more code-mature than Pamac. Pamac, on the other hand, has a history–hopefully now corrected–of encouraging partial updates. Octopi does not. That’s just for starters.
Much as I enjoy Garuda, I have to leave it. I was under the impression from the time @tbg invited me to join, that Garuda was not and would not mollycoddle users. And it seemed so–for a while. Not now. And Pamac is only a representation of that impression. It’s just one.
When the developers’ idea is to keep on going until it become too much for me, just as Manjaro’s did, I am out of there. I have seen this time-and-time, again. “Early adopters” often leave distributions when it reaches a certain point. Though I was not involved from the very start, now is the time for me to leave.
I have no argument with the wonderful things you have done with Arch. And I have no grudge. Garuda demonstrates to me, anyway, just what Linux it is capable of doing in a desktop environment. You folks deserve every ounce of credit you get. But when I feel somewhat forced to adopt or else, it is a sad thing, but I choose the latter. Nannyism holds no attraction.
I am as fiercely independent as the eagles that represent Garuda. Being an Alaskan, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing just how independent the species truly can be.
So I wish you all well. I’m off to Arch-land. I’ll keep up an appearance here and I hope our various friendships can continue, but for now I bid you all adieu.
I’'ll see ya 'round the block.
My very best regards to all.

I knew it was still there somewhere…
Sad to see you go, but I’ll take comfort knowing you are not far away in bare Arch-land. Don’t forget to drop by for some silliness factor every once in a while

I'll try to put it as succinctly as I can:
I enjoy the user-centricity I found in Arch more than the distribution-centricity of Garuda.
And there is no wrongness, either way. It's an individual choice. Some folks like a lot of pepper on their food; some do not.
Have I learned a few more old-dog tricks from the experience with Garuda? Indeed I have, and I am grateful for everyone here who has helped me. Way too many to list, old friends and new. But just as I've seen my "old" friends elsewhere in Arch and derivatives, so I'm sure I will continue to do so with newer ones. I hope that also includes you.
regards
