how so, exact same parts just more organized.
Strangely I find that UI much easier to use. Basically - drop down menus are now side bar menus. Don’t have to scroll back and forth from the drop down box anymore.
Probably depends on the screen size and resolution. Mine is 14’’ at 1080p.
The new version of pamac
was pulled again. Open up a terminal and issue…
sudo pacman -Syuu
… to downgrade pamac
back to the previous version, which is now marked as the current one in the repo.
so would it be bad to keep the new version & not downgrade?
will it still be updated?
I think it won’t matter much. Personally I’ve downgraded, but only so as to be on par with the official status of the Stable repos, because I never use pamac
.
I reckon the new version will come along soon anyway, but truth be told, I don’t know why it was pulled again, and I don’t think it would have had anything to do with the user interface. So maybe it is best to downgrade.
Then maybe you are already back on the old version?
Or he’s on unstable or testing branch.
That was my second thought, but it slipped my mind because I’m also busy helping out on another thread.
this is a fresh install of sway, just this afternoon. pamac still looks like the new version to me. i’m on a rpi400
ARM has had the new version for a while now. If you want the old version, you have to build it yourself.
nope, no matter to me. i did go ahead & upgrade the rest.
How do you force the downgrade? I got this…

What was the reason for pulling the new pamac?
I’m not sure ─ I’m not a developer ─ but there was quite a bit of backlash to the change, as you can read in the thread below…
There were also a few bug reports, such as this one…
Not sure either, as the issues discussed in that thread were for the early version of the new Pamac about readability, where icon were of similar color (all white, now red/blue), or the blue color for label too aggressive (now lighter blue), or some little UI bugs in Preferences menu (now fixed for the most part). I don’t recall anything in that thread that is an issue now in the new Pamac. Maybe they mistakenly pushed the new version to Stable when not intended as I think it was very little time on Stable.
