Can I uninstall pamac?

I just use pacman to maintain packages from standard repos and I maintain AUR packages manually. I don’t see a reason to have pamac installed. Can I uninstall it? Will it cause any problems?

Yes

Depends, but in general no…

Do you really need the 1.2 MiB of storage capacity you’ll recuperate by uninstalling it? :stuck_out_tongue:

Just one thing, though. I see you’re using Plasma, so if you’re going to uninstall Pamac, then don’t uninstall pamac-tray-icon-plasma, unless you’re using the octopi-notifier-frameworks package or some other means for staying apprised of system updates. :wink:

You’re right, actually. I thought pamac would be a larger application. I just disabled the system tray widget because I didn’t realise that was the only thing annoying me :man_shrugging:

we can have more (archlinux-appstream-data = 20Mo) but yes it’s light

pactree pamac-gtk -d1 -l
