Install Vivaldi on Manjaro
-
I have been trying to work out how to install the Vivaldi GUI on Manjaro Linux and haven't been able to. I can't seem to be able to find it on the AUR and Vivaldi only seem to provide the .deb download packages for Linux which doesn't help me very much. I don't see an appimage Linux file either I don't think?
Any ideas on what I should try next?modedit changed to a descriptive title

Why don't you try herecura repo?

Ah okay, how to you use CLI for herecura? I haven't heard much about it before. I think this one https://repo.herecura.be/herecura/x86_64/vivaldi-snapshot-ffmpeg-codecs-86.0.4240.112-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig includes ffmpeg which means that videos should be playable out of the box right?

@Steffie , vivaldi was deleted from herecura.

Was it actually removed or is it that it's just now also in the AUR?
-
@Gwen-Dragon That’s… that’s great!
But snapshot is still distributed through herecura, right?
-
@P1000Vivaldi Don't worry, it's already in Manjaro Unstable & Testing branches, soon to come to Stable

This is really fantastic news, & surely Shirley is a wonderful compliment to the Vivaldi project!
Thanks to those here who have mentioned this nice development as i'd not realised i was no longer working with current info til now. A certain someone might now need to edit their Installing Vivaldi on Arch Linux guide...
Sure enough, Stable is gone from
herecura:
This is the second bit of new info re V to me this morning, the other being this:

Ha, pacman is smart enough that it's already realised Stable is now in the official Arch repos without me needing to be doing anything now [my original installation way back was of course from herecura]. Noice!

@npro Well done - i thank you.
OMZ, a EULA! That's pushed me right over the edge; am now uninstalling V & going over to the demonstrable safety of Chrome.

@TheQuantumAlpha Back in my own MJ days their forum revealed some support for but also considerable antipathy toward V. Back then, i intuited that they would be unlikely to agree to it, which later struck me as deeply ironic given they did readily bring in PaleMoon & later Brave. I left there in their August Purge, though for the prior few years they had been in steady decline as philm & acolytes progressively but resolutely changed the community culture from one of collegiality to corporate. I was sad to have to leave them, but not sad to be gone.

@TheQuantumAlpha ehm, that's not it, no one even responded
I don't know how long you are following Manjaro but this was asked many times and years ago in the past and philm iirc has said that they would never bring Vivaldi to the repos due to the (proprietary) license and such. Now they are just following the upstream packages. -
@Steffie said in Install Vivaldi on Manjaro:

Though Brave is OSS and PaleMoon as well? But it was totally shameful that they 've brought Chinopera.

They still are collegial and Manjaro is doing fine, despite the extremely immature actions of one known person and his 5-10 drama-princesses ghouls, screaming and demanding pools of blood like true wild animals, all gone to EndeavourOS in order to bash, populate their beloved chit-chat, lounge, "what are you listening to, what did you eat today" forums and further feed their bloated ego.

@TheQuantumAlpha said in Install Vivaldi on Manjaro:
@npro I was not assuming that I am the ultimate requester, bending their knees to this life changing request.
What I am imploring is the fact that we, as a community, asked for this and they listened.
Actually no, it was like I said. Or you can ask philm and prove me wrong, no doubt, but judging from the past... very unlikely. We as a community (of Arch & Archies as a whole) on the other hand asked from Arch with our number of votes in the AUR it to be included in the community repo and who knows, maybe it has reached the right amount of votes and maybe -very likely- Ike's long-time dedication as a Trusted Arch User played its role as well. Besides, it doesn't change that much anyway, Ike was building the packages, Ike is building them again. To some it's now just more convenient, that's all.

No no, you’re yet again too slow at getting yourself informed
(though I’ve updated the title just now) -
Ike explained.

Normally i check that site many hours earlier in my days, but today has been a bit... uneven... for me. Had i seen this at my "normal" time there'd have been no mystery for me.

Sniff ... seems a bit unnecessarily curt of you to say this. I did explicitly check your blog prior to my earlier post, & at that time it was not updated. Maybe the electrons again got slowed down as they attempted to cross the equator? In any event, my earlier remark was supposed to be banter not actual criticism.
I seem to be really off today. My attempted ironies are getting misunderstood more than usual; not only this thread.

That's either a little
or your 
didn't kick in early in the morning, let's say it's the 2nd one 
, 'cause I can confirm that @potmeklecbohdan did indeed update his blog before your post and possibly before even mine as well.Life is cruel

@npro It's wonderful to see that a community listens to its users.
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/stable-update-2020-10-19-kernels-nvidia-455-browsers/32850/44Lets try that again. The Manjaro forms stopped listening to it's users months ago. The staff ARE dictators. The below says it pretty well.
