Is it problematic to install apps using pamac from the Chaotic-AUR?

Pacman v7 had to uninstall pamac-all

[the dude your opinion GIF] At least Octopi and Bauh haven’t caused DDOS attacks on the Arch repos like Pamac has done more than once in the past. Pamac is solely designed for use with Manjaro, and if you’re not using Manjaro then you should not be using Pamac.

Octopi and Bauh are reasonable alternatives…

Pamac-manager GUI not starting

Really? @dr460nf1r3 Right. Use it only for searching, like octopi and other GUI. Better use pacseek or the terminal with pacman. Sooner or later, you’ll mess up the system with the GUI, trust me.

Read those threads and you might realize that pamac is not recommended by the Garuda team. If you really need a GUI, then Octopi or Bauh would be better alternatives than pamac.
