  • You might be using the AUR and don’t even know it. The Chaotic AUR repository might be enabled and i think it is enabled by default on garuda.

    The chaotic aur is a bunch of pre compiled versions of apps from the AUR. It doesn’t have all the AUR packages but it has a bunch.

    You can check by looking for [chaotic- aur] in your /etc/pacman.conf file.

    grep "\[chaotic-aur]" /etc/pacman.conf

    If enabled pacman will handle those packages without the need for an aur helper like yay.









  • nvtop : visualize nvidia GPU usage and memory

    top : monitor/manage processes although ps aux | grep appName is still my goto.

    pyenv : easily install and use any python version

    ipython : a customizable python interpreter. I have figured out many poorly documented modules using ipython and great for exploring modules.

    Import psutil as ps
    
    ps.#then hit tab
    
    

    after hitting tab will show all attributes related to your imported module, use arrow keys to select methods == profit!

    nethogs : monitor network connections by app.

    firejail : app sandboxing
