hello! I know about the pacman -Q command, which brings up all my installed packages. But I was wondering if there was a command which will only show the packages I installed and make the dependencies invisible or colored (some kind of differentiator). Thank you

pacman -Q | cut -d " " -f 1
Not what he was looking for but "pacman -Qq" does the same thing...

Huh, thanks. I should read manpages more thoroughly…

Thanks guys. It seems Qet worked well. Out of interest what does the "t" do? the "e" was explicit as stated above, and "Q" was query.

man pacman

that made things more confusing for me...
Restrict or filter output to packages not required by any currently installed package.
Since using -Qet filtered out a lot of packages when compared to when I used -Qe, does that mean I have A LOT of useless packages?

What is it with you guys, afraid of reading?
-e, --explicit
Restrict or filter output to packages explicitly installed. This option can be combined with -t to list top-level packages- those packages that were
explicitly installed but are not required by any other package.
Before you ask, yes there is a magic combination to display orphans - packages installed as dependencies but no longer needed by any program. And you can search inside manpages.

Just look at those packages and determine if you don't need them..
