I use flatpak, pacman, and yay for my software management. I unify the basic needs by using these aliases:
SEARCH
fsearch = flatpak search <input>
psearch = pacman -Ss <input>
ysearch = yay -Ss <input>
REMOVE
fremove
premove
yremove
LIST
flist
plist
ylist
GARBAGE COLLECTION
fcg
pcg
ycg
And so on.
Additionally I also gave ucg as well as an all-in-one garbage collector command.
Quick FYI - Exa is no longer fully maintained; there is a fork called Eza which is maintained. They couldn’t take over the original Exa repo as the original creator is unreachable. Eza is in many distros; I’ve installed it on OpenSuSe Tumbleweed with ease from the factory-oss.
You forgot alias the_purge=“sudo rm -rf /”
I think I have a simple function in my .zshrc file that updates flatpaks and runs dnf or zypper depending on what the system uses. This file is synced between machines as part of my dotfiles sync so I don’t have to install anything separate. The interface of most package managers is stable, so I didn’t have to touch the function.
This way I don’t have to deal with a package that’s on a different version in different software repositories (depending on distribution) or manually install and update it.
But that’s just me, I tend to keep it as simple as possible for maximum portability. I also avoid having too many abstraction layers.
I use lsd how is nexa?
