+ no temporary files (hopefully less error prone) + more distro independent - gives false warnings if user shares /boot between distros
Sharing /boot happens mainly when people mount their esp to /boot in uefi systems. It is bad practice in multiboot systems, but for example systemd-boot practically requires, as does using refind with encryption unless you use manual boot stanzas.
Is this a scenario that should be taken into account?

Did you mean that vmlinuz
files from any kernel packages will be not in /boot
folder if the system was UEFI?
If the case was there are vmlinuz*
files from other distros in /boot
besides from arch, then there's no need to do anything as pacman will outputs nothing if -Qo
option was run with that file....
Just reread the chamges, it is indeed unproblematic because the aim is to simply test if there is any supported kernel left. The false positives would be generated with this method only if we were trying to see if there is any unsupported kernel.
thanks for your continued work!
while i was offline, i continued to improve pacui. i have just pushed 17 commits and will merge your PR soon.
because of the new AUR package list format, i have to release a stable version soon. not much time for looking for bugs...
btw, do @thefallenrat and @Chrysostomus want push access to pacui? then, you will be able to fix bugs even without me being around (and it is less cumbersome to commit).
oh darn. this PR was for the "devel" branch. because of the latest changes i have added to the master branch, the devel branch is now incompatible to the master branch. therefore, i have merged your code manually here: 9d0a086ad0cfdcd60f7b089ba1ab54efc7a22ed4 sorry for that.
This make available_kernels to check if installed_kernels are available in repositories and forward it to available_kernels itself Thus removing grep command completely
