Heh less deep and more ranty 
Sure as long as things as as resolved as you feel they can be. heh
One more thing, i know this is totally out of this thread, but i cant seem to install yum, pacman cannot resolve python2-pycurl, and ive tried every way of installing but ive got nothing. Any ides?
fire up pamac-manager and see if it's in the AUR? I'd wager that will be a hard find though being anything py2 is WAY depreciated...is there no acceptable py3 version?
It specifically requests the PY2 version
What does?>
pacman -S yum wants python2-pytucrl to install urlgrabber to install yum
Just curious but why add yum?
If pamac-manager doesn't show a newer yum or py2/curl in the AUR I'd say you're SOL without some build from source love.
to install .rpm packages, since rpm doesn't satisfy dependencies, and its really complicated to install them.
Btw. i found python2-pycurl.. but as an rpm package 
Why do you want to add/use rpm's?
Is there no tool to convert them if there is something as rpm you can't get in the normal repos? I mean there is debtap for debs or alien for rpm on debian.
So hold on. With alien i could convert rpm to a pkg and use pacman?
Sorry. Debian-Dumbness lmao
Yes you should be able to (I've had a few crap out) but what are you installing that is rpm but not available in the aur or repos?
Native microsoft-teams.. and i also wanted to install some other thing but i gave up and forgot what it was lmao.
And i know theres snaps that use electron and stuff for microsoft teams, but native is easier.
Ah gotcha! Well give Alien a try. I haven't used it since the mid 1990's but it's worth a try. There may be other tools out there too. I know I used debtap a bit ago. BS like Unity is deb only...well or it was.
Is this it? AUR (en) - alien_package_converter

This might be a whack suggestion but what all is installed from the rpm? If it's just a few things you could just extract and place things manually? I've yanked a few bins from an old Ubuntu install and run under Garuda just fine.
I kinda hate appImages but more and more I wish more things were using them for this very reason.
A containerized version of the app might be your most viable option. I have no idea if one is available, as I do not permit anything from Microsoft or Snaps/etc on my system.
I have to say that that is a great choice, except VS Code and teams i do not use anything else microsoft related too…
I could but i dont want to screw up something, and since its from microsoft i doubt it would work lmao
Well was worth asking since I know you can normally transplant binaries. VM for teams it is I seem to remember installing that garbo for a friend on Ubuntu a few years ago. Perhaps see if there is a deb you can grab and see if debtap has better luck than alien?
