aurutils
- Is there a sudo related bug in makechrootpkg?
- AUR helper for maintaining a local repo
-
How do you guys manage AUR compilation?
Currently I use aurutils, so that created packages are stored in an extra repository on the respective machine and can be installed through it.
-
How/why do you use the AUR?
I currently use aurutils.

[Request/Suggestion] Have 1 linux app with autoupdate instead of muliple packages
If I am not mistaken officially maintained packages follow the same initial process as AUR packages. You can read the wiki on Creating packages. But official packages are tested (there is a testing repository with the newest packages) where as the AUR package expects users to do the build and testing themselves, at their own risk in other words. With the helpers like glorious aurutils the process of keeping up-to-date dozens of packages (if you happen to be in a such a use case) with many dependencies is quite easy.

-
all dependencies in one package
You could use https://github.com/AladW/aurutils to create your own pacman repository on this USB drive. On your powerful PC you build the packages and they are placed in the repository on the USB drive. Then on your other machine you add the repository and install any AUR packages that you added to the repository from there. Dependency resolution would be handled by pacman itself just like for the normal repositories.

AUR Helper Suggestions
aurutils

yay -> takes ages -> password -> abort because I am not around -> goto 0
Check out aurutils, it is a collection of scripts that helps to streamline the process of maintaining a custom-repo for you aur packages. It takes a little to set everything up in the beginning (but it is less work then OPs method). After the initial setup everything just works.

YAY or PARU ?
I have yay installed but I've also setup aurutils on my server that automatically builds a list of packages to a pacman repo every day so I can just update them with my other pacman packages. Saves time compiling them during updates and lets me upgrade the same packages on my desktop and laptop without having to needlessly build them twice.

My computer just freezes when installing librewolf. I used both yay and cloned it from got, neither one worked.
Get Librewolf from chaotic-aur https://aur.chaotic.cx/ and avoid building it entirely.

Project on GitHub - Customizable Arch Linux Podman images based on the official Arch Linux Docker image
Chaotic-AUR (installed via pacman)
-
AUR
Some unofficial repos may be helpful, like Chaotic-AUR.
- how it feels when aur download is taking longer so you leave it on in the background and forget to put password at the end and all progress is canceled

I am officially one of you.
follow steps (only 4 steps) here: https://aur.chaotic.cx/

How do you guys manage AUR compilation?
Just use chaotic-aur and whatever aur helper you already use. Then you’d only have to compile the more obscure packages.

Needed packages, best windows manager (ur opinion), and some help
The Chaotic-AUR is the GOAT. Follow the website's instructions to use it. It's like the AUR; but precompiled, so installing from it is much faster.
-
Some games not launching due to invalid file descriptor
so i got it working, but instead of vanilla wine i use wine-tkg-staging-fsync-git, you can get by adding chaotic-aur well known pre-build binaries repo, use at your own risk but it's a very popular and well known repo.
- What can I expect more from EndavourOS other than easy-install Arch?
-
Just switched from Debian to Arch, Some advices ?
Add the chaotic aur it'll save you a ton of time
