Endeavour Os Tips

The document provides information on installing packages and software on Arch Linux. It lists the main trusted sources for software as the official repositories using pacman, the Arch User Repository (AUR) using yay, compiling from source code, and creating your own packages. Unofficial user repositories are listed as a less trusted option. Commands are provided for searching for packages, getting package information, and installing packages from the different sources. Maintaining packages with the package manager is recommended over manual installation to avoid issues with file tracking and conflicts.

We just want to find out which packages containing nvidia in the name are installed.

Leaving that part


away shows all installed packages which makes the output so big.
The correct command would be
yay -Qs nvidia

To see which driver is actually in use:


lsmod | grep nvidia

Disks
yay -S gnome-disk-utility

SOFTWARE
Listed by safety and stability.
Use only 1st, as the most trusted, and fallback to other sources only if you actually need it.

Arch
1. Official repositories using pacman
Search
pacman -Ss PACKAGE_NAME

Information
pacman -Si PACKAGE_NAME

Install
sudo pacman -S PACKAGE_NAME

2. Arch User Repository using AUR


Search
yay -Ssa PACKAGE_NAME

Information
yay -Sia PACKAGE_NAME

Install
yay -a PACKAGE_NAME

3. Compile from Source code or create your own package using PKGBUILD.
It’s best to create your own package, when you install program system-wide, even when you
don’t intend to share it in the AUR, because pacman does a much better job than you at
keeping track of files.
If you install things manually you will, sooner or later, forget what you did, forget where you
installed to, install conflicting software, install to the wrong locations, etc.
4. Unofficial user repositories 1
Adding unofficial keys
