update/build aur -git packages
I haven't used aura in a while, but as far as I understand the command sudo aura -Au --devel will only update packages that need updates based on if there are new commits upstream. As of aura 3.0.0 the git clones are kept in /var/cache/aura/vcs and when aura checks if the package needs an update it just does a pull on the repo and checks if the version is newer, so you will only see packages listed that require an update. You can add the --force flag to rebuild all of them, but that will generally do a lot of unnecessary work rebuilding packages with no updates upstream.

My transition from Windows to Linux in an anti-customer age
Yes, you need to use the CLI to run that, but it's trivial to do so and a real package management system brings many advantages over exe installers. The AUR, inspired by BSD's Ports, is one of the major advantages of Arch. It's very rare to find a package that isn't supported.

Yay not working?
Same here. Checked the github page and they're aware of it. Should be fixed soon. In the mean time I've been using aura. It's pretty great, should be more popular imo.

Gentoo vs Arch Linux
I switched from Arch to Gentoo because I ended up increasingly dependent upon AUR packages. That's not a big deal by itself, but I kept running into more and more frequent build failures with AUR packages that I couldn't sort out. This despite the fact that I used a very nice AUR package manager called Trizen. The final straw was when I started using hardware that, for some reason, didn't play well with Arch at install time but worked just fine with Gentoo.

Input audio delay in zoom but not in obs
As a side note, I use the trizen AUR helper program to install AUR packages because one of it's nice features over yay, etc, is that it by default shows the content of the PKGBUILD and any other files (patches etc) for an AUR package, so you can see or edit them before installing a package.
