Introducing Mist: An AUR-helper like application for Debian and Ubuntu based systems
Mist comes into play just like you'd expect an AUR helper to. Like how you have makepkg on Arch Linux, makedeb exists for the Debian/Ubuntu side, which is also what powers Mist.

Installed WINE, Ubuntu commited suicide. Guess that's goodbye 👋
This is why the makedeb, MPR, Pacstall, and una projects are so exciting. They could bring that robustness and ease of installation to Ubuntu. Hopefully some day the MPR becomes as popular as the AUR.

darktable CR3 build in AUR(archlinux)
If you are not on an archlinux(or arch-based) distro, there is a tool for converting the arch package into .deb. The ones I could find: - makedeb. - pacstall. This has a separate script for converting - https://github.com/pacstall/paconvert
- I use Debian btw

[Product Release] Introducing the Debian User Repository: The AUR for Debian distros (More info in the comments)
Well first things first: makedeb. This was a result of me loving Arch Linux's simple and efficient PKGBUILD format for creating packages. Got tired of Debian packaging, so I make Arch's work.

DUR is Finally here Yes!
I'm in the middle of writing a reference MPR helper (DUR changed branding) called mpm, and at current it supports searching, installing, and updating. You need makedeb installed, and then you just have to build mpm from the PKGBUILD on the MPR.

[Product Release] Introducing the Debian User Repository: The AUR for Debian distros (More info in the comments)
Then came along a side project: mpm. This installed packages directly from the AUR and Arch Linux repositories. There was an attempt at getting another thing going to convert dependencies between the two distros (which was needed), but it was a lot of effort, and I decided to put some effort into this instead.

Questions from an intermediate user transitioning to noob.
I've also got a companion project that can automatically pull in and install packages from the AUR and Arch repositories using their respective PKGBUILDs.

For non Arch-based distro users: How do you get software not available in the repos?
You can find the project here. Again, it doesn't work with a ton of stuff, but there's a small list of packages that I know do work here: https://github.com/hwittenborn/mpm/blob/alpha/WORKING\_PACKAGES.md
