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

AUR far easier than Debian installation system?
It's called makedeb: https://github.com/makedeb/makedeb

[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.

Would it be technically possible for an arch server to build and serve aur packages to other machines/distros?
Debian has the MPR https://mpr.makedeb.org/

Doesn’t using a different package manager defeat the purpose of Debian?
I know the MPR is a thing, but I've always found it unwieldy to use.

LURE development progress update (December 2021)
So the main difference from something like MPR is that it does that same thing, but for more packages, not only .deb files?
-
Newer packages on PopOS?
Regarding system repositores, it's generally best to avoid tampering with system repositories like this because it'll cause problems with release upgrades down the line. But if you really want to, look into https://mpr.makedeb.org/ with the expectation that a release upgrade with these packages installed will most likely fail.

PSA: For all you ex-Arch users out there, check out `makedeb` and `lure` for all of your out-of-band software needs
makedeb - Like makepkg, but produces installable *.deb files. There are already lots of packages in the MPR

Introducing Mist: An AUR-helper like application for Debian and Ubuntu based systems
Mist is powered by the MPR, an AUR-like repository that's also for Debian and Ubuntu based systems (of which I'm also the project lead for, as well as the makedeb project listed below). In short, it uses pretty much the same PKGBUILD format that you'd see on Arch Linux, but uses them to build .deb packages instead of Arch Linux packages.
