#Pacstall
Pacstall brings AUR-style package installation to Ubuntu, letting people install software from git repos, binaries, and .deb files with simple commands rather than hunting down sources by hand.

Rhino - xfce Ubuntu based distro with “pacstall” (worst name ever) which bills itself as “the AUR for Ubuntu”? Oh boy this looks like shenanigans you don’t need to engage in.

Here's Vortex running in Mint.

And here's a video on how you can do it too.

Notes:

I used the bash script to install Pacstall.

I had to purge YAD before it would work.

sudo apt purge yad

This is as far as I've gotten so in a while I'll see if it truly works. 😁

Found this today on stream for @thescotsmav.bsky.social

The AUR is great on Arch, it's awesome to see a similar thing setup for the Ubuntu ecosystem.

This is definitely what I'd use over Snap or Flatpak if I was running that.

I found a great distro (Rhino linux) that uses an Ubuntu base but is rolling, it uses the development branch from Ubuntu and the XFCE desktop.

By the way, shout out to @jimedrand.bsky.social for reminding me about his presence on Bluesky (by following me) and, I don't know how many times I'll reiterate this but, his effort over at my PR in the Pacstall repo. It's always people like him that charge me up to keep contributing to open source!

I recently have been playing with rhino which is a rolling release and pretty sure newest kernel. Built on Ubuntu development branch. Supports snap, apt, flat pack, and pacstall.

Not a hot distro, but I was playing with rhino linux not long ago. Built off Ubuntu development branch as tolling release. Loved the unicorn xfce DE.
