What drew you to the high seas?

I was sick of paying the "Australia tax" for new releases that took longer to reach us than most of the rest of the world.
Exactly this, except I actually stopped for a long time when Netflix first came out and wasn't geo-restricted.. then the enshittification started.

What's your favorite terminal?

When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij

Konsole does window splitting as well, doesn't it?

Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?

To be specific..

Install something from the main repo:

$ paru -S package

Install something from the AUR:

$ paru -S package

To search for a package, in the main repo or the AUR:

$ paru -Ss search-term

With the search results, it clearly labels if something is from the AUR or extras or the main repo, and you can make it show AUR results first or last in the config.

I don't actually use pacman directly at all, I use paru for everything and it's seamless.

Not sure why noone has pointed this out but if you use paru or yay instead of pacman, installing/searching the AUR is the same as if they are in the main repo. It does all the building etc for you.
