UV

[pundemia-dev]

Hi there! Why not use uv? I’m sure you’re familiar with this technology (if not, it’s a bit like Poetry). It installs packages super fast—way faster than using the AUR. Thinking about the future of this project—adding AI via g4f (gpt4free)—I haven’t seen any other key-free way to access models. I tried installing it from the AUR and it took forever; I waited two hours and it still wasn’t done. (I’m working on my own patch for the translator that includes an AI-powered translation feature.)

Are there any limitations to using uv?

Hi, I avoided using python package managers to simplify things for Arch users, since this is the preferred way according to the Arch Wiki.

You can always run a manual install though, that's why I listed all the dependencies.

Also, I'm gonna reimplement Ax-Shell with Quickshell soon, so a lot of things will change. I'll keep this recommendation in mind when I do so!

Thank you for the clarification. If you’d like, I can port the current version (installer, updater) to UV and open a pull request? At the very least, I’ll try to do it.

As for quickshell – that sounds great! We’ll be looking forward to it.
