Hi @manjar_newbie,
Personally, and this is just my own opinion, I feel like when you use the terminal, you have more control.
And pamac has a CLI as well, it’s not only GUI:
In fact. that’s what I recommend using, the Pamac CLI, since Pamac was developed by Manjaro (devs) for Manjaro, so it just takes care of more things for you than Pacman.
It’s also more verbose and easier to as and receive assistance when you use the terminal, since you can copy-and-paste output, commands and so on, but you can’t do it with a GUI.
Please open a Support thread for each topic, as requested in our Forum Rules.
Further, please see:

- [HowTo] Post screenshots and links,
- [HowTo] Request support, and
- [HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text.
Hope you manage!
Tip:
To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.
Instead of like this:
Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.
Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.
