My favorite is pacman because it is fast af but it has really weird syntax's

I use yay, it's pacman with AUR support. :)
- came here to post this.
  
  Also it always feels like I'm cheering for my system. :D
- FYI: ~~yay is no longer maintained~~ (Untrue! See response here). ~~Use paru instead~~ Consider paru as an alternative option; it's written in Rust and has better version tracking for *-git packages (won't miss upgrades if the AUR version isn't tracked, won't do pointless upgrades if the AUR version changes but HEAD remains unchanged)
  
  The latest release of yay was 3 weeks ago. Where are you seeing that it's not maintained anymore?
