Added

  • A real, working pacman backend for Arch Linux, alongside Homebrew —
    the launcher now works without Homebrew installed at all.

    BREW_LAUNCHER_BACKEND (auto/homebrew/pacman) picks which
    package manager it talks to; auto — the default — prefers Homebrew
    whenever it's on PATH and only falls back to pacman when it
    genuinely isn't, so this changes nothing for any existing Homebrew
    user. Every screen — search, marking, categories, favorites,
    presets, themes, the details pane — works identically either way;
    only where the tool list itself comes from differs. Update and
    Update All decline with a plain explanation on the pacman backend
    rather than attempting pacman -S/-Syu, since those need root and
    this script isn't going to ask for that on its own. Not yet packaged
    for Arch (no AUR entry) — for now this means cloning the repo and
    running bin/brew-launcher directly. See the README's
    "Other package managers" section (tucked inside Configuration —
    nothing to read here if you're on Homebrew).
