Aurora is a graphical package manager for Arch Linux designed to provide a modern interface for managing software from both the official repositories and the Arch User Repository (AUR). It offers a GTK4-based desktop application that integrates common Arch package management tools into a single interface.
The application is designed as a Wayland-first GUI and focuses on providing a simple and visually modern experience for installing, updating, and removing packages. Aurora works alongside existing Arch tooling such as pacman and popular AUR helpers like yay or paru, allowing users to manage packages without relying solely on the command line.
This is free and open source software.
