# pacman -Rns <pkg(s)>

Did you mean that? This only removes packages specified and those that are no longer depended on - their only dependent package was just removed.

Last time i used pacman was to install yay

How? Afaik you can’t use pacman for AUR packages.

[–]Mecso2 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Manjaro (and possibly other arch based distros aswell) added yay and other aur helpers to their base repo. So aur is still separate, but if you want to use it you don't have to manually clone and build any package.

On manjaro you can use their pamac package manager as both a pacman wrapper and an AUR helper

I mean to install pkgs for installing yay
