I was curious why does 'pacman -Q' operations took longer than 'apt' counterparts. It seems that the local pacman databases are just subdirectories with text files (desc, files) and gzipped text (mtree). No wonder why local pacman databases tend to slow down over time and need to be optimized

This is a known qt5-base issue [1], especially on gnome-wayland. The qgnomeplatform theme, which provides uniform look for QT and GTK apps, doesn't support GTK3 wayland compositor. As temporary workaround, you can tell GTK3 library to use x11 backend (GDK_BACKEND=x11) or by installing qt5ct

Since links package has been flagged out of date for almost one month, I can't help myself to contribute a patch and stop bugging maintainer to package an updated version. I've submitted this patch on aur mailing list and someone told me to post to the appropriate list. So, I post it here.

Are you trying to delete 'nvram' file on the efi partition directly or are you trying to delete /sys/firmware/efi* ? I think it would be saver to use 'efibootmgr' instead of manually deleting 'efivar' or 'nvram' file.

Greetings, developers. 'links' package has been flagged out of date for nearly one month and there is no updated package until now, not even in 'testing'. Is there anything blocking version 2.13 from being packaged? Firefox, which requires time and power to package has already available in
