After installing MegaSync, I can no longer install packages on CachyOS pacman

When installing MegaSync for the first time, I used this command from their website in order to install it: wget https://mega.nz/linux/repo/Arch_Extra/x86_64/megasync-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst && sudo pacman -U "$PWD/megasync-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst"

And no, even using -Sy didn't work. I guess me being an idiot and not understanding how Linux works or why it functions like this, I can no longer install anything with pacman as it complains about a repo database file for "Arch_Extra" being missing now :(

Looking at the command, I assumed the download would temporarily switch to that repo that was necessary to download the program, not completely alter how my pacman works though...

I'm not sure why MegaSync would just override everything and ruin my pacman like this.

Anyone have any experience with Mac? Can it run Linux?

Hi guys, I was gifted a free iMac (Intel core 2 duo) from a retired nasa engineer in his 90s (he even worked on the atom bomb!) and I was wondering if it is worth anything or if I should keep it and try to put Linux on it.

He forgot the password and I had to do some things in the terminal to get around it. So far, everything looks to be in working order. I have never owned a Mac or Apple products in general so I am kinda out of my element here lol
