Where do I find em?
The package manager used with Garuda is pacman. (package manager. Not the hungry little video game character. 
)
The packages are located in the repositories. These are listed/configured in /etc/pacman.conf, which points to files with the actual URLs.
Now, searching those packages for what you want is… expansive.
The most basic method - where you’ll already have all you need installed - is using pacman:
pacman -Ss <keyword> – pacman Sync search
For example, pacman -Ss pamac will get you:
$ pacman -Ss pamac

If you’d prefer a GUI way, I like pamac-aur. It provides a nice GTK front end that lets you search and read up on the packages in the repositories and the AUR. I do not recommend using it for updating the system, stick with garuda-update for that.

Catra likes Pamac, but I prefer Octopi, especially in KDE/Qt environments. Either way, they are both frontends to Pacman. :gobble: :gobble:
But potato, po-tah-to; pamac, octopi, what’s the difference.
