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.

Could you theoretically use other package managers on void?
A lot, it's (also) a complete linux distribution. See https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/ and for comparison with other distros: https://repology.org/ It looks like they entered the top ten since last time I checked.

what OS do YOU use, as an emacs user?
I'm having a hard time believing it, but apparently nixpkgs is larger than AUR per https://repology.org/?

How to deploy my FOSS to Linux users / repositories?
Generally, the easiest thing to do is to do nothing - if your software is useful and people are using it, then packagers will show up. You can track what distros packaged your project on https://repology.org/.

Discover Slitaz, a 50MB Lightweight Desktop Operating System
I remember when the internet was smaller (20 years ago?) some people would have a comparison of different package managers for linux distros where they would dive in to examples and use. Anyway, this is a high level of package currency : https://repology.org/
The last distros I've used that didn't really have their own package managers were Slackware (it is just a tarball) and PuppyLinux (adopted from slackware or debian).
Anyway, Slitaz is here https://repology.org/repository/slitaz_cooking

The problem raised by Linus Torvalds on package management
You can basically install nix packages on every Linux and even MacOS. They are imo better developed and less error prone. You are guaranteed to never have dependency issues. The hashing scheme and idea of representing and building packages from derivation logic is spectacular design. The design of Nix inherently supports atomic upgrades and the likes of an immutable system. Also, afaik, it has the largest package availability currently (at least as many pkgs as Arch's) https://repology.org/
