it actually is, you just append the distrobox command before it

distrobox enter arch -- yay -Sy appname

A simple yay -Sy from Arch btw takes less computing power and doesn't depend on an external dependency.

Any reason not to just use yay? That's an alias for yay -Syu, which in and of itself, at least if I understood it correctly, is basically just pacman -Syu and from what I've read on the arch wiki -Sy is heavily discouraged.

But then you stuck with arch. I've never had any software that wasn't a flatpak or in the Debian repos. I use Fedora.

I would say you are stuck on Fedora too, what is your point?

I’ve never had any software that wasn’t a flatpak or in the Debian repos.

There are quite a number of them, hence the reason for OP's meme.

Really? I honestly have never had that problem. Can you name a few? (I'm completely serious. Don't take this as sarcasm)

[-] hottari@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

There are so many software devs that package AURs because Arch has made it easy for them to do so. No need to give examples if you are totally fine with your brand of distro.

But whether you'll hit the minor snag OP memes about depends on your software needs.
