Hi CHris,
I used your part of your script specifically on a VM
cat ./packages/base.list | xargs sudo pacman -S -y
but this gives a bash error
command y: not found
instead of using xarg I used this and it worked;
Also even tough we pass -y both pacman and paru still ask confirmation to proceed with the installation. Paru in some cases might even ask to review the packages.
Thanks for all the inspiration. I also installed Arch and Hyprland . Learned a lot from your streams and wanted to contribute.
