Any reason not to just use yay? That’s an alias for yay -Syu, which in and of itself, at least if I understood it correctly, is basically just pacman -Syu and from what I’ve read on the arch wiki-Sy is heavily discouraged.
There are so many software devs that package AURs because Arch has made it easy for them to do so. No need to give examples if you are totally fine with your brand of distro.
But whether you’ll hit the minor snag OP memes about depends on your software needs.
Not as easy or as convenient as
yay -Sy appname
it actually is, you just append the distrobox command before it
distrobox enter arch -- yay -Sy appname
A simple
yay -Sy
from Arch btw takes less computing power and doesn’t depend on an external dependency.Any reason not to just use

I would say you are stuck on Fedora too, what is your point?
There are quite a number of them, hence the reason for OP’s meme.
Really? I honestly have never had that problem. Can you name a few? (I’m completely serious. Don’t take this as sarcasm)
