Not sure I could get with the huge string of arguments, That needs to be shortened to follow the ls style of stacking letters behind minimal “-”
Does look good but I prefer function to form.
Interesting though
Why does ls need a replacement?
What does this do that ls cannot?
Edit: cheers for the downvote for valid questions!! Guess the reddit mindset never leaves some.
The reason why people think nix has a larger repo is because nix has only 1 repo for everything, were arch has 3 main and 4 testing and then the aur. If arch lumped everything into one repo it too could say it has 80k+ packages.

Have you checked the source git repo to see if that was updated?
If the app you speak of is a -git type then the aur page will have an old date but the repo where the source is will be new and current.
It could also be that the app you speak of is abandoned, try sending a msg to the maintainer.
If you’re a new user you’d be better off moving on from here and not paying much attention. It’s a hot topic full of opinions that everyone will want to force on you.
If you really want to swap out the init system there are some things you need to know.
First, do you need a desktop environment(DE)/window manager(WM)? If so you’ll need to find a DE/WM that is not going to demand you use the mainstream init choice which currently is SystemD. If you want to use Gnome from your chosen distro repo’s then chances are it will pull SystemD with it.
If you want Gnome but not SystemD you’re gonna be building that beast from source every update and for the most part you’ll need to go direct to Gnome for any issue/bug you fall over and this too will be painful.
Simpler WMs will be more forgiving and will only rely on either xorg or wayland and will happily run on any init.
There will be other packages out there that also demand you use SystemD, so you’ll have to find them and decide if you need them or if there are alternatives that don’t have a hard dependency on SystemD.
All the current usable inits are written in C or C+ (except for GNU Shepherd, this is written in guile).
The benefit of swapping out the init system is mainly down to choice, necessity but again this all boils down to what the installation is for and what will it be doing.
For a good run down of the features of the init systems refer to these 2 urls: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Comparison_of_init_systems https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Init
All of the init’s (except for epoch) provide parallel service startup so if boot time is a focus test each to find the fastest for your platform, Not all of them provide per-service config.
For example one can cobble together: minirc, busybox, syslogng, crond, iptables, lighttpd.
And the end result would be a relatively secure webserver with a small footprint, you could further extend this with nginx to sit in front of lighttpd to provide waf and cache features.
The biggest bug bear with SystemD is that it writes to binary log files and even though it can be configured to generate plain text, if it falls over in a bad way you will still only get a binary log file and if you’re in a situation where your only access is say busybox for emergencies. In this instance your only option is to boot from another systemd distro and mount the broken install and run:
$ journalctl --file /var/log/journal/system.journal
Other than that many take issue with SystemD trying replace parts of the system that many say don’t really need replacing like sudo, fstab, resolv.conf, etc but again these statements get full of opinion and don’t help us truly way up the differences and some of the SystemD alternatives misbehave or become hard dependencies other projects which makes it harder to disable parts and swap out to your chosen package.
I’ve tried to be more objective with this response and keep as much of my personal opinion out of this, But here is mine:
I don’t really like it but to make it easier to get support for my OS I put up with it, I daily drive arch and so must accept it. I could rip it out or run artix, I’ve gone down this path and got fed up with jumping hurdles to get what I wanted so went back to Arch and now I disable parts of it I don’t need/want, have it generate text log files, use openresolv and other choices.
But all 5 points can be said for all other distros running a DE.
For convenience online there is always a trade off, When I do my update runs on windows each month this is one of my bookmarks. If I can’t be arsed I use SDI origins.
Sorry, I’ve never had to sign in to anything to be able to download and install an nVidia driver. I’ve been using their cards for decades. No idea where/how you’re getting them. Geforce experience is an optional add on if that is what you talk about.
I use arch too and dualboot with windows.
How are you updating drivers without sign in?
I have a local account in windows.
I see the AUR as suspicious until I establish a basic form of trust for what I want just like most .exe files and installers, I’d recommend you take this approach to the AUR too as it fundamentally is an obvious untrusted source.
Sorry but it just can’t be boiled down to that sentence. I daily drive Linux and still disagree even though windows has obvious flaws.
Nope, all fine here.
Why make the filesystem so contrived just to bow to snaps, just seems all wrong to me.
But what do I know they dropped the kiss principle years ago.
Man I always forget about dd and jump to gparted.
I’ve made a few posts to arch forums and never faced issues.
Perhaps it helps that I work in enterprise tech support so I’m used to providing a lot of verbose info about a given issue I’m facing when requesting help. I also show what I’ve done in an attempt to resolve it.
Many of the so called toxic responses I’ve seen on there have been to posts that I would say don’t follow rules or just give very minimal info.
Trilby is also one of the best responders on there but have had a few blunt responses from others.
I stopped using resolved as it tends to ignore what I tell it to do and still grab DNS from the router which I don’t want and can’t disable on the proprietary router.
openresolv/Resolveconf was never broken in the first place so I’m not sure what systemd was trying to fix with this.
I’d never use it on a production server due to the implications of data loss associated with such a command.
You could say this is the same as sysreq trigger b where everything is ignored and just reboot with ignorance.
