TIL you can browse all packages pacman knows about, installed and not by writing:

$ pacman -Slq | fzf --preview 'pacman -Si {}' --layout=reverse

This gives you fzf fuzzy search and excellent TUI display of each package and their meta data.

Totally awesome IMHO.

As always, there’s even more in the treasure chest: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman/Tips_and_tricks
