Other Packages #

Arch has an amazing wealth of packages available for almost any type of software between the official repository and the Arch User Repository (AUR). It couldn't be easier to use either. You install a new package with yay -S [package]. If there are multiple matches, you'll just pick yourself.

If you want to remove a package, you can use yay -Rns [package] (removes package, config files, and dependencies).

Here are some common packages you might like:
