Arch to Debian: best practice for managing repos unavailable through apt
deb-get For last resort. But DistroBox and Flatpak will give you all the software you want.

Is there something similar to the AUR for Pop!_OS?
There's no dark magic involved. That software basically has its own repository built in: https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/blob/main/01-main/README.md

Feeling a bit defeated with Linux Mint
Install and use Deb get if the software center does not satisfy your needs

All the problems I had with Pop OS as a user coming from Windows
The first thing I would do here is make sure that your keyboard is set to the correct locale and layout. You can check this under Settings -> Keyboard The next thing to note is that the key code send by laptop keyboards are often proprietary and don't work out of the box. You can use xev / xorg-xev to see what key code is returning and update your key bindings. What is the recommended way to install applications? Ignore the Pop OS shop? Is it an app to app decision? Thank you for the recommendation. Use apt or the pop shop for most things but for proprietary things I'd use deb-get or just download directly. Flatpaks and Snaps are great but doesn't always have the best system level integrations. This is a serious problem with Linux on the desktop in general and I'm looking forward to an os agnostic package format becoming dominate.

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
Lastly, deb-get + pacstall + bauh. All of these combined covers 99% of my software needs, much less need to find and install PPAs and .deb manually. Still not as convenient as AUR, but much better than it was before. Hopefully, eventually everything is on Flatpak, snap, or AppImage so I could just use Bauh for most apps, but for now, I'm glad that these tools exists.

Want to move to linux
I got my start to Linux with PopOS, and so I will vouch for that. They look good, have good tools, and cares a lot about the desktop experience. Also, they have a built-in recovery partition, so even if you f'd yourself, you can reset from the Settings menu or from the boot menu. It is Ubuntu-based, and be sure to check out deb-get and pacstall for some third-party apps.

apt-get and deb-get is totally different. apt-get is deb default, deb-get is different. Here, read up on it. https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get

I've been using Linux for a week , and i'm starting to like it
Nice. If you're looking for apps on PopOS and other Ubuntu derivatives, you can also use deb-get and pacstall to get certain 3rd party and proprietary apps not in the package manager.

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.

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.
