paxs is a meta-package manager that unifies operations across Yay (AUR), Flatpak, and Snap. It allows searching, installing, removing, and upgrading packages from multiple sources through a single interface.
When a package exists in multiple sources, paxs prompts the user to select which source to use. This simplifies package management on systems using multiple package formats.

-u, --upgrade-all

Upgrade all packages across all package managers

Install package (prompts for source if available in multiple)

Remove package (prompts for source if in multiple)

Check for updates across all managers

Requires yay, flatpak, and/or snap to be installed. Only manages packages through supported package managers. Some operations may require root privileges depending on the underlying manager.

paxs was created by zamhedonia to address the complexity of managing multiple package managers on modern Linux systems. It provides a unified interface without replacing the underlying package managers.
