Ive been daily driving manjaro for about a month and I just switched to vanilla arch out of curiosity. When I search discord for example, it just shows plugins rather than the actual application. I understand I can install it via terminal but im wondering how to fix the software center.
#Discover software center doesn't have any normal packages

I'd say it best you get used to the cli package managers (pacman or/and aur helpers like yay)
I'm not sure if Discover even has support for packages from arch repos/aur
pamac could be a GUI alternative, but it's
eeeeeeeeeh
topaz locust
what would be a package manager simular to the manjaro one (except ofc using arch repo) that I could install
ill try pacmac I guess
vivid nimbus
pamac is what manjaro provides you out of the box
topaz locust
yes
I dont usually even install from pacmac it was just to see all offical and AUR packages in one convient place
vivid nimbus
aur helpers show you both packages in the same list when you search for it
topaz locust
pcamac isn't even a package I can download
topaz locust
ok thanks
lucid shuttle
but if you're looking for a gui, pamac should do
don't use pamac

run sudo pacman -S packagekit-qt5 then open discover again

oh ok thanks
remember to run sudo pacman -S flatpak to add flatpak support to discover
for the aur you can use paru or octopi/bauh
also avoid snap
topaz locust
while your here what DE would you recommend? Im looking for something clean looking
topaz locust
also avoid snap
Ive been using ubuntu server for about a year as a NAS and I have had terrible experiences with snap
lucid shuttle
nobody likes snaps
lucid shuttle
it was easier to install it manually
arch repos, flatpak and the aur are enough for your software needs
topaz locust
yep
lucid shuttle
then wine some apps if required
arch is the ultimate distro when it's about software avaliability
.aw arch is the best
weak barnBOT
topaz locust
yeah I think ill be sticking with arch
lucid shuttle
yeah I think ill be sticking with arch
now, you installed the packages I suggested?
does discover works now?
topaz locust

lemme know if discover finds apps from arch repos. and if you install flatpak , discover will show a button saying sources, where you can tell it if you want the app from flatpak or arch repos
