Update the mention of yay in the Readme #170

Closed Miepee closed 2 years ago

Miepee commented 3 years ago

yay is an unofficial AUR helper and is thus not supported by Arch Linux. I changed it to just mention and link to the AUR package instead, users should be able to install the package from there.

Why? The AUR itself is not supported by Arch, let alone AUR helpers. yay is the most popular AUR helper, it's just an example. Many projects do this to help users install their software.

The way it was shown there it didn't come of as an example, to me at least. Came off like it's the only way to install it like that.

In order to help new users, does this sound better?

Linux Wifi Hotspot is available as an [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-wifi-hotspot/). You can install it manually or with your favourite AUR helper.  
For example, if you use `yay` you can do:
`yay -S linux-wifi-hotspot`

It does, indeed.
