Pamac-cli and pamac-manager unreliable

I’m curious to know why we should prefer one over another.

When pamac-gtk was updated to GTK4 for Manjaro Gnome in 2023 pamac-gtk3 was created for other desktop environments

@philm

With Pamac we have now 11.0.1 based on gtk4 and 10.5.3 based on gtk3

manjaro-gnome-23.0-230903-linux65.iso.pkgs:pamac-gtk 11.6.0-0.2

manjaro-kde-23.0-230903-linux65.iso.pkgs:pamac-gtk3 10.6.0-0.1

manjaro-xfce-23.0-230903-linux65.iso.pkgs:pamac-gtk3 10.6.0-0.1

@Aragorn

pamac-gtk3 is an older design than pamac-gtk. GTK4 is currently only used by GNOME and GNOME applications. If you’re on XFCE, Cinnamon, MATE, Budgie or even Plasma (which is not GTK-based), then you’re better off with pamac-gtk3.

@scotty65

Have you tried replacing pamac-gtk with pamac-gtk3 from the repos? I dumped pamac-gtk last year as it seems to be more suited to Gnome than Plasma due to its Adwaita dependencies. pamac-gtk3 works well on Plasma (at least it does on my mini-PC)
