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

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.

The best Debian/Ubuntu-based distro that uses Plasma would probably be Kubuntu with unsnap if you're not a snap fan.

Distro to daily drive for old laptop
If snaps are your only issue, don't leave Ubuntu. Look into unsnap (https://github.com/popey/unsnap). Determine if your lag is snap related.

Why is everyone all of a sudden using Fedora?
Snaps are so bad that one of Canonical's star employees left and tweeted about snap issues saying that "They get ignored or dismissed. The CTO flat doesn't believe there's a problem. The team is understanffed and there is no motivation from IoT and enterprise focused people to fix desktop problems. Been trying from the inside for years. I gave up hope and left.". Same guy later went on to create the unsnap repo on github which helps users find replacements for their snap packages among flatpaks etc - and this wasn't a "jaded employee" thing so much as him trying to look out for users' best interests. Good on him.
