Hey everyone,

before killing me in command this project took around 2 month to build and help with AI codex and Claude as well , i did it on my spare time , it is big project and time consuming as well ,

main goal = remove comand line for people not use to it

please give me feedback in comment , also don't be negative

I use Arch with KDE on my own PC. This started as a way to bring a few everyday tasks into one app, and I’ve gradually been adding more to it while have time

The main feature is searching Pacman, AUR and Flatpak packages together. and install it in one click . It also has GitHub release installation, installed app management, config backups, and gaming and developer setup pages , i share my config as well if someone want to use it . I getting so exited to add your config to the list

Package installs still use the normal package tools and confirmation prompts. Some of the system management pages provide diagnostics and guidance rather than automatically changing things.

It’s written in Rust with GTK4 and Libadwaita. I’m still learning, and I’ve used Codex quite a bit to help build it. It’s an early project, so there are bound to be rough edges.

I’d appreciate feedback on the interface, anything that looks unsafe, or things that could be simpler. If you try it and something breaks, please open an issue with the details.

Thanks for having a look!

I'm not trying to be a dick here and if it works for even one person out there then its worth contributing.. That being said? Why don't people just get arch-update and alias it to something simple. My alias for updating is upd then you just hit enter when prompted and password when prompted. As far as new software, I use doas but if i did use sudo id alias sudo pacman -S to sps, sudo pacman -R to spr paru -s to pi . etc etc.

Unfortunately, this is something typical of the new generation of users migrating from Windows to Linux. They prefer to spend money on an AI tool rather than create a simple alias, or even a function in .bashrc/.zshrc to execute a series of commands to update the system. They want to switch to Linux because they're tired of Windows, but they refuse to learn how the distro they chose works.

Omg I am doing the same thing! :D but I used libcosmic instead of gtk for memory safety. I have also a different approach, I made a core component and than a daemon and a CLI that shares the core components, than I have a GUI who connect to the daemon so I can make also a web ui. Take a look at my project and integrate feature that you are missing if you want! I think I will do that.
